	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	it's Friday the 15th of November, year of our Lord 2024.
	Well, today we're going to begin by taking a look at the RFK Jr.
	appointment.
	It certainly did surprise me.
	CNN thinks this is all very entertaining, and actually, I guess in a way it is.
	We'll take a look at the good, bad, and the ugly.
	But, of course, we've got a lot of ugly things happening.
	We've got RV sales being banned.
	We've got coal mines being in California and other places.
	We have coal mines being banned in the U.K. We have congestion traffic coming to the U.S., of course, in New York City.
	We have the poly market being intimidated by a visit by the FBI. And, of course, a reporter in the U.K. accused of hate speech.
	Except she's not allowed to know who her accuser is.
	They said, no, it's not the accuser.
	That's the victim, said the police.
	And we're going to take a look at Trump's cabinet.
	It appears that the qualifications to be there are not simply that you have to be a Zionist.
	It looks like you also have to be a vaccine cheerleader.
	Yes, the Trump shot.
	We'll be right back.
	Well, as we have Scott Jennings on CNN, he says, let me as we have Scott Jennings on CNN, he says, let me look at Are you not entertained?
	He says to the people that are there.
	These pics that Trump is doing, they're not safe pics.
	I don't know if they're going to get past any confirmation.
	But they are not establishment pics for sure.
	And very surprising that he went with RFK Jr.
	after what was said by Lutnik, the co-chair of the transition team.
	He was emphatic when questioned by Caitlin Collins that it was not going to be RFK Jr.
	So, very surprising to me.
	He said...
	Are you not entertained, said Jennings.
	I mean, this is the most entertaining transition I've ever seen.
	I was surprised as Paula, because it was not a name that we've seen.
	We've seen some reporting, a lot of different names, frankly, a lot of sort of well-heeled Washington legal types that were on the list.
	So, I'm as surprised as anyone.
	Now, he's talking about the Gates appointment.
	He said he continued, but what I take away from all this is this is a president-elect who is feeling his power.
	This is somebody who is appointing people to things, whether it's Gates or anyone else, as we've seen today, who is feeling his influence, who doesn't feel like he's in a mood to negotiate with people in Washington, D.C. He's here to do what he wants to do, and he expects the Republicans to fall in line, and that's the question, will they?
	We've already had the first test of that.
	And that was the Senate Majority Leader.
	The person who's being supported by the MAGA people and the Trump people came in a distant third.
	And it was duked out between a couple of, we'll just say establishment people.
	But let's take a look at the RFK Jr.
	nomination here for HHS Secretary.
	And I think, you know, there's some ugly things in RFK Jr.'s background.
	Some bad things.
	But there's also, this opens up the door for some good things as well, I think.
	And I think this is going to be very entertaining.
	Because even if he doesn't get the confirmation.
	And I honestly think that he will.
	Unlike Gates, unlike Pete Hegseth, I would expect that they would not make it.
	But I think that RFK Jr.
	will make it.
	But whether he makes it or not, what's going to happen in the confirmation hearings is they try to push against him.
	He's far more informed on these issues that he's chosen to take a stand on, the vaccine and these other issues.
	Far more informed than they are.
	I had said before that although I would not support him, and look, I don't support anybody.
	I support issues.
	That's why, you know, when you look at somebody, everybody's, it's a mixed bag.
	Of issues when you get somebody.
	Very few people are consistent about things.
	It's kind of a, you know, hit or miss.
	I've always said, you know, if you go vote for somebody, the person, the party, all of the rest of the stuff, it's like, you know, if you were to go to the grocery store, rather than having, you know, 10 different varieties of tomato soup, you know, they're going to put a different kind of soup that you don't like in there.
	And then they'll have another grocery cart that'll have other stuff.
	And some of it you'll like and some of it you won't.
	But you're going to be forced to buy one or the other of those carts.
	That's why my focus is on individual issues.
	And I think the way that we get things done is to focus our energies not on a politician or on a party.
	But on an issue.
	Focus on gun control and gun rights and that type of thing.
	Focus on that.
	Focus on supporting the Second Amendment.
	That's a good example.
	And of course there's others that we need to focus on as well.
	But I think it needs to be done issue by issue.
	Anyway, Kennedy, Trump said he would let him go wild.
	He said he wants to do some things.
	And we're going to let him get to it.
	Well, let's hope that he does the right things.
	You know, Children's Health Defense and Kennedy can be kind of a limited hangout on a lot of these issues, but they go much further than virtually most publications.
	There's others that get it more right, but they do a lot of very positive reporting.
	I think where they miss it It is on the environment.
	Unfortunately, RFK Jr.
	did not get appointed as head of the EPA. You know, the old joke, you know, what is hell?
	Well, that's where the British are the cooks, the Germans are the police, and, you know, the old joke about all the ethnic stereotypes.
	If he had put RFK Jr.
	in at the EPA, that would have really been a bad thing.
	But fortunately, he's not at the EPA. And, um, I gotta say that, uh, even though he has, um, not gone all the way, and even though he's done some things like pushing this lab leak theory, which I think is, that is very concerning.
	Because the virus is not real.
	The pandemic was not real.
	And to push that is very concerning.
	Nevertheless, he's not as owned by the pharmaceutical companies.
	And he might be able to do some things like get rid of the immunity that goes back to 1986.
	The PrEP Act.
	At least get rid of the ads of pharmaceutical companies.
	There's all the types of things that he could do.
	And he could do a great deal to expose...
	Politico suggested that Kennedy may still face a steep slope to confirmation.
	Over his fight against over-vaccination.
	And his book accusing former NIH official Anthony Fauci of conspiring with Bill Gates and with drug makers to sell COVID-19 vaccines.
	Well, we had...
	This is what we're going to see.
	This guy is a conspiracy theorist.
	And he doesn't know anything about health, said Liz Churchill.
	And she said, but this is what we've been doing for the last four years.
	Yeah, people.
	He's wearing a mask in a swimming pool and going underwater.
	Here we have cops holding people while they put masks on.
	People being sprayed as they come off of a plane.
	Okay, got a mask on.
	I'm going to lift it up.
	Put the mask back down again.
	Oh yeah, this is my favorite.
	Putting people in little containers out in the big field.
	In groups.
	Six feet apart.
	Oh, can we see Grandma and Grandpa?
	Not sure.
	Here's another one of these things where they've got people spaced out when it's six feet apart for a concert or something.
	All wearing their masks.
	Yeah, putting a mask on a baby.
	The bubbles!
	There's people living in a bubble.
	Here's a guy.
	It's insane.
	You want to talk to us about knowing something about health?
	You want to talk to us about being a conspiracy theorist?
	When nobody's dying from this stuff, they're killing people in the hospital with the ventilators, the remdesivir, and the rest of the stuff, and then they've got the rest of the people out there doing this.
	For the record, for any future generations watching this, I had nothing to do with this.
	I opposed all of this.
	Yeah, it goes on and on and on.
	That's as Liz Churchill says.
	Oh, so you want to lecture us about knowing about health and science when you got people to do this?
	Like I've said before, when I was in high school, one of my friends who was a very good musician, he was already playing professionally in high school.
	And we're in the cafeteria and they're playing Elton John.
	And he goes, can you believe it?
	He said, when we're older, people are going to say, this is what you listened to when you were in high school?
	Crocodile Rock?
	And he goes, oh man.
	No, I had nothing to do with that.
	I tried to tell people that.
	And I always change the station like Crocodile Rock whenever it came up.
	So, for the record.
	And then we got Charlie Kirk.
	Charlie Kirk is going to put a Godspin on RFK Jr.
	Well, actually, he just put a clip up where RFK Jr.
	put a Godspin on it.
	He said, I asked God for 19 years to put me in a position where I could end the chronic disease epidemic and bring health back to our children.
	Well, that's really good.
	And I don't want to kick anybody for saying something like that.
	But you know, the problem is, is that RFK Jr.
	supports abortion fully without any restrictions, I think.
	So, if you want to bring health back to our children, maybe you should ask God to explain to you how that's a good thing to rip babies apart in the womb.
	Here's the DNC that I showed the other day.
	And here's a baby.
	You'll see the legs being ripped off with the forceps.
	Right?
	Until the baby is dying, and then they pull the baby out of the mother.
	This is the ultrasound.
	Don't talk to me about children's health.
	When you allow, when you support this kind of stuff, abortion on demand without apology.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Talk to me about children's health, okay?
	Talk to me about God, and how you're searching for God.
	Thou shalt not kill.
	Is that clear?
	Yeah, we're looking for this nuance.
	Okay, speak to me, God.
	Well, yeah, I did.
	He said, thou shalt not kill.
	How can anybody look at that and not be moved?
	So, he's very inconsistent.
	Like I said, there's good, bad, and there's ugly.
	That's ugly.
	The ugly truth about what he supports.
	But we'll talk about some of the good stuff here.
	Beginning with the fact that Moderna stock tanked as the announcement came up.
	Can you show the chart of it?
	Okay.
	We're on number four.
	Okay.
	This is, well, never mind.
	Anyway, the Zero Hedge has got it, and it just, they've got, this is when Trump officially makes the announcement, and at that point, Moderna stock just goes straight down.
	You've got to love that.
	And then, there it is.
	Thank you very much.
	You got it.
	I didn't know what the title was.
	I'm sorry.
	Right there.
	Trump offered his secretary position to RFK Jr., CNN says, and boom, straight down.
	Everybody jumps.
	Anybody that knows Moderna stock gets on the computer to sell their stuff right then.
	And then we have...
	The picture that's put up by Ian Miles Chung, who said, what an incredible update from a weirdo cross-dresser to a giga chat.
	I don't know what that is.
	I guess it means he's ripped.
	So he's got a picture.
	There you go.
	Thank you.
	He's got a picture of RFK Jr.
	shirtless.
	I don't know why he does that.
	I don't know why Putin does that either.
	Or Alex.
	I don't know.
	Especially Alex.
	But, you know, he's showing he's really ripped.
	Okay.
	And he's 70 years old.
	And then you've got the guy on the right who is Richard Levine.
	I call him Dick Devine.
	But he calls himself Rachel now.
	You know, when you've got somebody that is the deputy secretary of HHS. It would be good if they were not a total basket case when it comes to physical and mental health, which is the case with Dick Devine.
	He is a basket case physically and mentally.
	So, the surprise, I should say, The surprise was, as I played this for you the other day, I said, you know, RFK Jr.
	goes on, he publicly says, hey, I was promised HHS by Trump.
	Two days later, Luknick says this.
	The key that I think, you know, that President Trump has promised me is control of the public health agencies, which are HHS and its sub-agencies, CDC, FDA, NIH, and a few others, and then also the USDA. Which is, you know, is key to making America healthy.
	My inside source tonight is the co-chair of the Trump Vance transition team and the CEO of the investment firm, Kenner Fitzgerald, Howard Lutnick, RFK Jr.
	He said that Trump has promised him control of the public health agencies, HHS, which would be also, you know, CDC, FDA, USDA, all of these agencies.
	Is that true?
	Has Trump promised him basically the HHS job?
	So I spent two and a half hours this week with Bobby Kennedy Jr.
	And it was the most extraordinary thing.
	And I said, so tell me, how's it going to go?
	And he said, why don't you just listen to me explain things?
	And what he explained was when he was born, we had three vaccines and autism was one in 10,000.
	Now a baby's born with 76 vaccines.
	So what happened now?
	Autism is one in 34.
	Vaccines don't cause autism, which is what RFK pushes, which is why people are concerned that he could get a job like HHS. He's not getting a job for HHS. People are concerned.
	He's not getting a job for them.
	He's going to run it.
	He's not getting a job for HHS. The key that I think, you know, that President Trump has promised me is control of the public health agencies, which are HHS and its sub-agencies.
	He's not getting a job for HHS. What he's trying to do, here's what he wants.
	Okay, so again, you know, Luke McStock has gone way down.
	He might not be getting that treasury position.
	Because he put himself in to get the Treasury position.
	Well, you know, Trump kept his promise on that.
	And, you know, and I think even with these other people, a lot of this stuff is to entertain and to get his base excited.
	You know, when you look at Hegseth and you look at Gates, you know, Hegseth might make it.
	I would give him less than a 50% chance if I was betting on...
	On Polymarket, for example, the guy who runs it just got a knock on the door from the FBI saying, we're investigating your interference with the election.
	It's like, what?
	Anyway, I would give Hegseth less than 50%.
	I would give Gates way lower than that in terms of probability that they're going to make.
	It's not saying whether or not I want to have them in or not.
	Look, We'll talk about that coming up.
	We've got a couple of comments here.
	Matthew Ronson said, RFK Jr., I want to protect babies from bad injections, provided we don't tear them apart first.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's it.
	A Syrian girl says, well, if RFKJ does nothing else but get rid of the 1986 disgrace, I'll give him thumbs up with one hand even if I have to hold my nose with the other.
	That's what I said.
	We could get some good stuff.
	If he got rid of the 1986 thing, he may not be able to get rid of the PREP Act because that's like national security.
	Because that's really, you know, they showed their hand where the CIA, that's being run by them.
	The 86 thing, you might be able to get rid of that.
	And he might be able to stop the advertising on KWAP. That would be huge as well, because that's their superpower.
	That's why you don't have 60 Minutes, CBS's 60 Minutes, doing an expose of any of these vaccines like they did in the 1970s with the swine flu panic.
	And Mike Wallace, Chris Wallace's father, just eviscerated the vaccine industry over that.
	And so, if he could do those two things, that would be huge.
	That would be huge.
	So the one writer who is the editor for National Review calls the nomination of RFK Jr. a monumental disaster, he said.
	And the reason he opposes him is because the abortion thing, number one.
	And number two, because he pushes for government run health care.
	What Hillary wanted, what Obama wanted, he wants full on.
	That isn't anything that I think is going to happen.
	And that's not something that we have to worry about him being able to impose.
	And so I think overall it's a very positive thing because he's in a position to expose, even if it's in a limited way.
	Anything that he exposes about what the FDA and others are doing I think is very good.
	And so – He says, RFK Jr.
	is the only pick for HHS who would be pro-abortion and pro-government health care.
	Well, the guy's name is Philip Klein.
	He's editor of National Review.
	The establishment conservatives don't like these picks.
	He also urged Senate Republicans to reject RFK Jr.
	and Matt Gaetz.
	He said, my reasoning is, though, that any AG pick is going to be a Trump toady.
	But he goes, he really didn't like...
	But this is what Kennedy wrote in late October.
	He said the FDA's war on public health is about to end.
	This includes its aggressive suppression of psychedelics.
	Why would he make that the number one thing?
	I want my psychedelics.
	If you work for the FDA and you're part of this corrupt system, I have two messages for you.
	Number one, preserve your records.
	Number two, pack your bags.
	Well, that's good.
	That's where his opposition is going to come from.
	The establishment of pharmaceutical companies, they're going to pull out every stop they can to stop him.
	Because he wants to go to war with the FDA, so good for that.
	I hope that he does do that.
	And I hope that he gets in to do it.
	So, he has, again, a lifelong Democrat.
	So is Trump, actually.
	Just so everybody knows.
	So, anyway, he enjoyed support along non-traditional lines, of course, because he opposed the lockdowns, mandates, and shots.
	But some people pointed out, why did you write the book on COVID? Why did you wait so long in terms of COVID? Why did you wait so long to write that book about Fauci?
	Why didn't you do it as it was starting instead of waiting a very long time?
	Because, again, the key part of it Was the 12th chapter that he called Germ Games.
	And if you understand that, that is the key thing to debunking all of this stuff.
	Especially all as well as creating a lab type of thing.
	I was very disappointed that he followed that up with a book on how it came from the lab.
	You know, it's like some 50s, 1950s science fiction horror thing.
	It came from the lab!
	Be afraid!
	Ah!
	So anyway, this kind of contradiction that you find in one person, again, is always there.
	And so we can just hope that some of the good stuff happens.
	And we'll just see what happens.
	He does, by the way, oppose puberty blockers, hormones, transgender surgeries for minors.
	And of course, Trump was pandering to the LGBT. Wasn't it interesting that as much pandering as Trump did to the LGBT people He's still only got 14% of a teeny tiny demographic that's there.
	So, LifeSite News says whether Kennedy's appointment is confirmed by the incoming Republican Senate remains to be seen, as does the final result of his and Trump's potentially dueling stances on COVID. The full range of his scientific views outside of COVID and what he will ultimately do with HHS abortion policy.
	Yeah, David Icke says, Bill, this is going to be kind of interesting to see how he and Trump navigate this when there is so much support with all the Trump people other than him.
	You know, and that's the interesting thing.
	You know, you look at Gates...
	He's got a very troubling background, morally, just like RFK Jr.
	does.
	And he is not a Zionist.
	As a matter of fact, he believes that Assad tried to invent the blackmail thing against him, which we're going to see, that's going to be a big thing.
	That's going to be a big part of his confirmation hearing.
	People are going to delve into that.
	But with RFK Jr., He's not part of the pharmaceutical stuff, and all the rest of Trump's cabinet is.
	So two of them are kind of outliers on Zionism and pharmaceuticals.
	Michael Tracy, talking about Tulsi Gabbard, said part of her conversion into a Republican operative Has entailed her declaring that the goal of Hamas is world domination.
	And calling protesters against the Israeli pulverization campaign puppets.
	And bizarrely claiming that Biden hasn't adequately condemned anti-Semitism, he said.
	Well, you know, she's going to be head of...
	She's going to be the director of national intelligence.
	And this is a person who was...
	Honored to be the young global leader of the World Economic Forum in 2015.
	She subsequently said that, I didn't even know they put me in there.
	Except that she tweeted out that she was honored to be She's right there with people like Dan Crenshaw, people like Alex Soros, George Soros' son, people like Mark Zuckerberg, Rapinoe, the soccer player.
	I mean, you know, she's good company there from the young global leaders.
	But, you know, she seemed to have acknowledged that, or did acknowledge it, I should say.
	She's also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, CFR. And, of course, she did some really strange things like this, too.
	You know, putting up her picture there where she's doing the Illuminati sign.
	Why would she do that?
	And then here's a picture of her as she's posing for that.
	This is my posing sign to give the Illuminati.
	Do you remember when Jim Carrey did that as a joke?
	He says, yes, I'm exposing all of the Illuminati that are out there and everything.
	And he was, I mean, that's the classic thing.
	Why would she do that?
	Why would she do that?
	Well, here's one of the interesting things about her, and I think perhaps it explains why she was put in as Director of National Intelligence.
	You know, she is in the National Guard.
	What does she do there?
	Well, she's in PSYOPs there at the Army Reserve.
	PSYOPs.
	This sums it all up, I think.
	All right, let's go to the Matt Gaetz thing.
	Matt Gaetz's confirmation.
	Newsweek said it could mean good news for Ed Snowden.
	Gates has been a proponent for Snowden's pardon for leaking classified documents.
	While he does not have direct power to pardon Snowden, his proximity, if he were Attorney General, may help.
	In 2013, then-National Intelligence Director James Clapper told Congress that the NSA was not collecting data on millions of Americans.
	Remember that?
	We've talked about that so many times, 2013.
	Newsweek is reminding people that it was just a couple of weeks later that Snowden released the information.
	As I've said many times, James Clapper, the worst liar ever, worst poker player ever.
	Are you spying on American citizens without a warrant?
	No, not intentionally, he says.
	And of course, he lied intentionally.
	And nobody, nobody ever brought charges against him for lying to Congress.
	No senator did it.
	Rand Paul didn't do it.
	Mike Lee, Ted Cruz, none of them did it.
	The statute of limitations ended.
	As a matter of fact, I've played in years past.
	Michael Hayden, buddy, you know, these revolving doors, you know, get to be head of the NSA, head of the CIA, head of the, you know, get to be the DNI and all the rest of this stuff.
	Michael Hayden said, I blame Ron Wyden.
	Ron Wyden knew what we were doing.
	And so did all the staff and so did all the other people there.
	Why did he ask him that question?
	You knew we were violating the law.
	Why did you make a point about exposing it?
	You know, it's like your fault.
	It's like the only good thing that Ron Wyden has ever done.
	I've said that every time I talk about it.
	It's like, I'm amazing.
	I'm amazed that that came from Ron Wyden.
	On September the 3rd, 2020, Gates posted to X formerly known as Twitter, Pardon Snowden, September 2020.
	He was pushing the pardon from September all the way up to the end of January, and Trump wouldn't do it.
	You think Trump's going to do it now?
	It's interesting, though, because this back and forth...
	Raises some question about who controls Trump, doesn't it?
	Gates said, as of today, the case has never been stronger, that Ed Snowden deserves a pardon from Trump.
	I would support a pardon for Snowden.
	If it were not for Snowden, we might not know today that our own government has engaged in an activity that now a federal appellate court has deemed to be illegal.
	And at the time, Gates was not the only member of Congress calling for Trump to pardon Snowden.
	So the question is, who controls Trump, right?
	Just take a look at Snowden.
	Take a look at Assange.
	Trump has had questions about that.
	Why didn't you pardon the two of them?
	Well, one of them was maybe pardonable, the other one wasn't, but it wasn't a very good thing to do, I was told.
	And I was like, who's controlling him?
	Take a look at the fact that he put Gina Haspel, the person who lied us into the Iraq War, who used torture Illegal torture and covered it up.
	He put her in to run the organization his entire four years.
	She was number two to Pompeo, but she was running it.
	And then Pompeo moves over to Secretary of State, and she is the official head.
	She was the official head when Trump refused to pardon Snowden or Assange.
	Is Trump being run by the CIA? Liz Cheney tweeted that pardoning Snowden would be unconscionable.
	Yeah, and Trump agreed with Liz Cheney on that.
	The Cheney ideology supporting forever wars puts more troops at risk than Snowden ever did, said Gates.
	He also said Trump was listening to those who urged a Snowden pardon and asserted that it was the right thing to do.
	Gates posted about the subject after Greenwald tweeted that a Snowden pardon would be a victory against abuses by various three-letter agencies, including the CIA and FBI. In December of 2021, Gates said that he had lobbied extensively with Trump and the former president allegedly felt better about Snowden than about Assange.
	Still, Trump didn't oppose these people.
	Is he going to do it now?
	Is it going to be a personal thing?
	The thing is, Gates has got these real issues, accusations of illegal drugs and Illegal sex with minors and things like that.
	The plastic surgery stuff and the grandstanding.
	But he does take a stand on some of these things.
	Again, the good, bad, and the really ugly that is there.
	This goes against what Snowden tweeted in 2020, suggesting that if Trump were to issue one act of clemency before leaving office, it should be to free Assange.
	And Gates said, I regret that we didn't make it happen.
	I've got to say, one of the things I like is the fact that he is not afraid to challenge this established order as he got McCarthy kicked out.
	And so that might be what is really behind some of these allegations.
	Who knows?
	I mean, they came up with allegations against Julian Assange that were false.
	And it's always, you know, a lot of times, usually if they play ball with them, they say, well, you know, we've got stuff to blackmail you with.
	And if you play ball with us, we'll not only not tell people that, we'll give you extra money and support.
	But a lot of times, even if they don't have stuff on people, they'll make up stories about that.
	And it's usually something that is very depraved sexually.
	Because that's where these people hang out.
	Senators want details of Matt Gaetz's ethics probe before his confirmation vote for Attorney General.
	As I say, all this stuff is going to be aired out in public.
	It's going to be a lot of this stuff.
	John Cornyn said he's open to subpoenaing the House Ethics Committee.
	The ethics panel has been investigating Gates on and off since 2021, most recently focusing on alleged sexual misconduct, illicit drug use, accepting improper gifts, obstruction, and other allegations.
	But the results of that probe may not become public because Gates resigned from the House noon on Thursday, and the ethics committee has jurisdiction only over sitting House members.
	Well, first of all, I would expect that it would be leaked.
	Secondly, they have a precedent where they have released stuff like that after somebody has left office.
	So they don't have any jurisdiction over him, but there's a precedent for releasing ethics reports after or on the same day even that a lawmaker leaves Congress.
	It happened in the case of former Representative Bill Boner, Democrat Tennessee, two months after he resigned in 1987 to become Nashville's mayor.
	It also happened with former Representative Buzz Lukens of Ohio the day that he resigned in 1990.
	And so the question is, did Trump not vet this?
	Does Trump not care about any of these types of allegations?
	Because he hung around with Jeffrey Epstein, best friends for a decade.
	Or are these things fake?
	See, that's the other aspect of it.
	Just because they've got a long list of stuff there, we don't know yet.
	We have to, you know, he's got a presumption of innocence.
	And I think it's interesting that he's, as I said, he's been investigated on and off since 2021, but nobody's indicted him for anything.
	The Ethics Committee has never come after him for anything.
	And that was happening when the Democrats were in control, even.
	And when his enemies were in control of the Republican Party.
	So I find that kind of suspicious, you know, just because somebody makes a lot of strong allegations against somebody, and there's, oh, look, there's this, and there's that, and there's that, and there's got to be something.
	Well, not necessarily.
	They're pretty famous for throwing the kitchen sink at everybody.
	If they want to come after you.
	So again, I think we need to wait and see exactly what's going on.
	Certainly he was hanging around with a very young girl, which is, you know, that and other things that are quite obvious is the plastic surgery on his face.
	You know, these other things are, there's something going on there, but you know, you're not For the most part, you're not going to get normal people in government.
	That's just one of the things that are there.
	So all of this is going to be litigated and publicized, and we're going to have all kinds of details coming back and forth.
	It'll be there.
	John Cornyn wants to see it.
	Lindsey Graham then comes in and said, well, if John Cornyn is going to subpoena these records from the House, Lindsey Graham says, well, If they were to do that to us, I would go bat crazy, he says, if they tried to subpoena something over here.
	Of course, he doesn't use that term.
	Chuck Grassley, who is going to take over as the judiciary chair in January, dodged any questions on Thursday.
	He's like, I'm waiting to see.
	And Grassley said, well, we've got a professional staff on judiciary that'll do a full job of vetting and all those questions will be answered by the vetting process report.
	As a matter of fact, they don't even need to get the subpoena thing.
	He was investigated by the FBI. And so they can get that information from the FBI. But isn't it interesting that even though the FBI investigated him and Merrick Garland and all the rest of them, they did not indict him for anything.
	So again...
	And on the one side, they've got all these wild charges, but on the other side, they've looked and they've looked and they've looked and they've never indicted him for anything.
	The key thing, as I said, about Gates is it shows that Trump is willing to go into lawfare and do it against his enemies.
	And my concern is that because it's Gates and because of the way that he does it and because of Trump, I'm concerned that not only will it be about a personal vendetta rather than reestablishing the rule of law.
	Look, Merrick Garland and these people need to be investigated.
	They need to be exposed.
	I think they need to be banned from government.
	I think they need to go to jail for what they have done to people.
	They have used political persecution and abused the power of their office.
	And something does need to be done about that.
	And my only concern is that it be done in a way that people perceive it, or at least make a believable case, that it is being done to establish a rule of law rather than to establish the power of Trump.
	And don't you dare cross me.
	That's my concern.
	And that's what I said when I first saw that with Gates.
	I'm afraid that it's going to come across that way.
	So, you know, they are angry at him because he did the coup against McCarthy, all the rest of the stuff.
	And so now you see ABC News says, well, no, that woman was 17.
	She wasn't 18 when all this happened.
	Again, then why no indictment if that is true?
	Over the summer, the House Ethics Committee subpoenaed the woman at the center of the probe, who is now in her 20s.
	She sat for multiple days of testimony, where she testified to the committee that he had sex with her when she was a minor in high school.
	These allegations are invented, he said, and would constitute false testimony to Congress.
	He responded to ABC News.
	The Justice Department spent years probing the allegations against Gates, including allegations of obstruction of justice, before informing Gates last year that it would not bring charges.
	Oh, okay.
	Does somebody being investigated in Washington make you guilty of something?
	Again, that's the key.
	So, as Reason says, Gates' personality irked his GOP colleagues, but there's better reasons to oppose his nomination.
	So what is it that he doesn't like?
	He says he clearly passed the loyalty test, but he said he lacks relevant experience and has repeatedly demonstrated poor judgment.
	Well, let's think about this a little bit.
	We had Bill Barr.
	Bill Barr had lots of experience, right?
	He had experience at the CIA. He had experience as a very young attorney general for George H.W. Bush because he'd helped George H.W. Bush rebuild the CIA. And then Trump brings him back in after all that experience.
	He had lots of experience, lots of credentials.
	How was Bill Barr?
	Well, you know, Bill Barr was one who immediately came after Julian Assange and with other people in the Trump administration who wanted to assassinate him.
	And then you got somebody like Jeff Sessions, who was the first attorney general under Trump.
	This is a guy who was absolutely obsessed with civil asset forfeiture, who did an end run around the Constitution for civil asset forfeiture.
	Oh, yeah, he was a former senator for a long time as well.
	Look, I don't care what these people's background is.
	Anybody who reads and follows the Constitution would be better than any of these Attorney Generals we've had, Democrat or Republican, in my lifetime.
	You can go back to Ronald Reagan.
	You can go to Ed Meese and all the garbage that he put in there with the war on drugs and other things like that.
	These people don't care about the Constitution.
	I don't care about how much political experience they've got.
	What a joke.
	So again, I mean, it'd be interesting to see what, I don't know that Gates would follow the Constitution either.
	But nobody could do worse than these other people.
	It's to say that somebody has got, they've been in Washington for a long time.
	Well, is that a plus or a minus?
	It's a minus in my book.
	So the House GOP, by the way, Johnson is making moves even before Gates left.
	Who knows, maybe that's the purpose, is to get Gates out of Congress so he doesn't come back.
	Are you going to play some 4D chess ideas here?
	Maybe Mike Johnson says to Trump, hey, I'll help you on this stuff if you get Gates out of here.
	He's not going to pass this.
	He's not going to pass confirmation, but he resigned on day one as soon as he got the nomination.
	And so, as I pointed out the other day, Chip Roy was very upset about the rules that were being put out by other Republicans, I think, under the direction and encouragement of Mike Johnson to limit any criticism and to limit any participation.
	See, that's what the conservatives, people like Chip Roy...
	Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, who I've got my issues with her on things as well.
	But look, what they were trying to do was to stop this top-down monopoly that happens, complete control at the top.
	Some put in by Nancy Pelosi, Boehner, and all the rest of these people have run that.
	They were able to get that in there with Kevin McCarthy.
	And so you could have somebody bring it up for a vote, the move to vacate the speaker's seat, and it only took one person to do it.
	Yeah, I mean, you still have a vote, right?
	And so when...
	Gates was leading that against Kevin McCarthy and Chip Roy, Marjorie Taylor Greene, a lot of other conservatives.
	They were able to get Kevin McCarthy out.
	They said, well, they couldn't do any business in the House as long as the speaker's seat is empty.
	They can't do anything.
	So they had to wait until they got another speaker.
	All of a sudden, out of nowhere comes this guy, Mike Johnson, that nobody's ever heard of.
	So now he's consolidating his power there.
	And you're going to require not one, but nine people.
	I don't know where they came up with that number.
	Nine people.
	So it's going to be nine times harder to get somebody out.
	But it's not really that it's nine times harder.
	It's just nine times harder to bring the issue up.
	You had, after he became Speaker, Marjorie Taylor Greene moved to vacate the seat under those rules, and it only requires one person.
	But that did not happen, unfortunately.
	But he doesn't want that to even happen again.
	So they have made that move to protect the Speaker.
	And finally, we talk about Pete Hegseth and what is going on there.
	As I said, it's very troubling to see him.
	To see Waltz, to see Ratcliffe.
	These guys are hardcore.
	You know, let's do wars, especially right now with Iran.
	They want to war with Iran for Israel's benefit.
	It's not for our benefit.
	They want to put Israel first, not America.
	And so I have a big problem with them on that.
	Pete Hegseth has been outspoken on the other side.
	On stopping this DEI garbage that is just eating the military up like a cancer.
	Like it eats our society.
	It eats up every institution that gets involved in it.
	And Wall Street Journal thinks that it's a mistake to oppose that.
	The Wall Street Journal, of course.
	So-called conservative media.
	And they said Trump has got these plans that were revealed in a leak.
	He wants to set up a board of retired generals and admirals who are going to look at this DEI stuff that's been put in and recommend who needs to be removed.
	And of course, Hegseth is 100% on board with that.
	But the editors of the so-called conservative...
	Wall Street Journal are warning Trump against carrying out recently leaked scheme to purge the American military senior officials.
	The editors urged Trump to act with caution when it comes to plans to shake up the military brass.
	They said a purge mentality will court political trouble and demoralize the ranks.
	Now, let me tell you what's demoralizing the ranks.
	It's DEI is demoralizing the ranks.
	This kind of Marxist division...
	It's antithetical to the ethos of the military.
	The military was all about, we're all one.
	We're all a cohesive unit.
	I don't care if you're white or black or we're all one.
	We've got each other's backs.
	This is breaking everybody down by their demographics.
	Skin color, race, sexual orientation.
	Why are they even talking about sexual orientation in this context here?
	And so it is designed to divide and to demoralize a force.
	It is antithetical to everything the military needs in order to win.
	And so they said, the draft executive order leaked to the press about forming a group of former officers to rule on the fitness of current generals would be a mistake.
	The smacks of politicizing the officer corps.
	That's what they did.
	That's what the DEI is.
	It's a politicizing of the officer corps and everything else.
	And I would just say, you know, it's the same argument that these other people are making about Attorney General.
	Oh, well, we need to have somebody who's got a long political resume.
	We need to have somebody who's got a long military resume.
	Do we?
	You know, these people, what wars have they won?
	Can you show me one that they've won?
	Any of these guys?
	We have this heavy bureaucracy.
	Boy, you could get rid of, and we've talked about this.
	I forget what it is.
	It's like four dozen or more generals when we, you know, had like a handful at World War II. I don't remember what the numbers were, but it's orders of magnitude more in terms of numbers of generals and admirals that we have now than we did during World War II. Maybe that's the problem.
	Maybe it's become too politicized.
	You know, our losing the wars, a lot of that had to do with politics.
	You could go in and win the battles as they did in Vietnam, but we lose the war.
	Why?
	Because the politicians running people like McNamara and others who are running it.
	But still, this DEI stuff, it's got to go.
	And so you got the Wall Street Journal lecturing them on that.
	Firing the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, C.Q. Brown, would also be counterproductive.
	Well, if he's, I don't know what his background is, but if he's pushing DEI, he needs to go.
	The editors also expressed concern that Hegseth seems to be obsessed with purging any woke elements from the American military, rather than focusing on more immediate and concrete problems.
	That is the issue.
	That is the most immediate and the most concrete.
	If you don't have a foundation of cohesiveness, then you don't have anything to work with.
	They said in the context of America's security challenges, Wokeness is a small concern, they said.
	That's the Wall Street Journal.
	I couldn't disagree with them more.
	Scott Helmer.
	Thank you for the tip.
	He says, if RK Jr.
	supports that, then there is no good stuff with him, in my view.
	I guess the abortion stuff.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that is a key.
	I mean, that's what I say.
	Nobody else is talking about stopping the immunity of the vaccine companies.
	And nobody else is talking about so many of these issues, you know, what the FDA is doing and exposing it.
	But, you know, how can you be blind to what is going on with that?
	You know, I saw a tweet Lila Rose put out.
	And she said, so tell us, you know, right here is a comment.
	What changed your mind about abortion or whatever, if you're pro-life?
	And I put something on there.
	I said, you know, that happened when I was running for Congress as a libertarian.
	So as a libertarian, I'm just saying, well, look, I'd never had to face that decision personally, so I'd never really given it all that much thought.
	And to think, well, you know, when does a baby begin?
	But then people kept asking me about partial birth abortion.
	I'm like, what is partial birth abortion?
	How do you get partially born?
	That doesn't make any sense, right?
	So I looked it up.
	Had to be able to give people an answer.
	And when I saw what it was, I said, oh, okay.
	This is not about a disagreement about when a baby becomes human.
	This is just murder.
	It's just infanticide.
	I said, that was it for me.
	Even before I became a Christian.
	And of course, after I become a Christian, I realized that God has set our days before we're born.
	He's the one who knits us together in our mother's womb.
	And so that just cemented it in place.
	I agree.
	You know, it's such a big issue.
	And of course, in his personal life, There are big issues.
	And there are big issues that I had with him when he was talking about free speech and everything.
	I said, yeah, but what about that time 10 years ago, whatever it was, that you wanted the Koch brothers jailed?
	I mean, you know, there's stuff like that.
	So hopefully something good will come of it.
	That's all we can say, because there's not anybody that I'm going to...
	Get 100% behind in this crowd that's in Washington.
	Jeb Clanton, thank you very much for the tip.
	He says, seems that there's less talk about ending any of these unconstitutional three-letter agencies, as we figured, and more about working to legitimize them.
	That's right.
	That's the other way that you can look at this.
	If he goes in and he does some very high-profile reform of the FDA, oh, now it's good, right?
	It should not exist, as I've said.
	Get rid of all this stuff.
	And it's like Trump and the Department of Education.
	If he starts handing out the money rather than the people at the Department of Education handing out the money...
	What difference does it make if the government has got its fingers and its strings into education because of the money?
	Brian and Deb McCartney.
	David, did you hear about possible recess appointments with no hearings?
	I know that that was what Trump was pushing for leadership positions.
	And we'll see what happens with it because he didn't get what he wanted in the Senate.
	NN says, NPR was saying this morning that Kennedy spreads vaccine misinformation, making many in healthcare nervous.
	He says, good.
	Well, you know, this is a clip that I had the other day about, finally got it in the stream deck here, about NPR. This young woman, looks like she's in her mid-30s or something, is the CEO. This is what she has to say about truth.
	Don't let them lecture us about misinformation when she says this.
	I think our reverence for the truth might have become a bit of a distraction that is preventing us from finding consensus and getting important things done.
	Yeah, you know, we got this agenda, and we really don't care about the truth.
	Let's not let the truth get in our...
	Don't talk to me about misinformation.
	Get lost out of that stuff.
	Marky Mark, thank you for the tip.
	He says, the fact that Merrick Garland's Department of Justice didn't prosecute Gates speaks volumes.
	Yeah, I think so.
	You know, you're innocent until...
	Anybody can make an allegation.
	And if you're rocking the boat, which, again, Gates has done that.
	It'd be kind of interesting to see him as Attorney General.
	There'd be a lot of boat rocking going on.
	You rock the boat, and they're going to start throwing allegations at you.
	They're going to try to set you up, which is what he said that they did.
	And as I was talking about it the other day, Chris Minahan at Information Liberation said, you know, maybe he did do this stuff.
	And maybe they decided that they didn't want to prosecute him because to fully look into this stuff, it would expose the role of Mossad.
	Because he said, this is coming from this.
	And you had indications from what people that were connected with Mossad and everything had shown that they had prior knowledge of this stuff.
	Well, how would they have prior knowledge of this?
	of something like that, right?
	And so he said, well, maybe they didn't move ahead with this.
	Maybe he's guilty.
	Maybe they didn't move ahead with it because they didn't want to expose their involvement in all of it.
	So we're going to take a quick break and we're going to come back and talk a little bit about what's that?
	Okay.
	Well, Karen put this up here.
	This is, let's see.
	What is this name here?
	Thor and Master of the Mystic Arts, 2019.
	Okay.
	I think that's the name.
	Hi, David.
	What's your take on Alex Jones and Infowars gone and sold off to The Onion?
	Well, I think they're going to appeal it.
	Again, this is a very aggressive bankruptcy trustee.
	And as I said before, I've been in a situation where I was a creditor and a bankruptcy trustee situation.
	And I know how these bankruptcy trustee, how aggressive they can be because they take turns.
	You've got all these bankruptcy lawyers in this federal court system.
	And so many times, they're representing people who have no money because they're bankrupt.
	So with individual bankruptcies they don't usually make any money.
	But if it's a corporate bankruptcy no matter how bad it is there's always assets to be sold off.
	And even if the creditors don't get paid The bankruptcy trustee does.
	So this bankruptcy trustee has been chomping at the bit to get in there.
	And he jumped the shark once before.
	And I said at the time, I said, there's no way that he's going to be able to do this.
	That was when Alex was doing the fundraiser, chaining himself to the walls and stuff.
	But I said, they're not going to shut him down now.
	They probably will eventually, but this is too soon.
	And it was too soon.
	And the judge stopped it.
	Well, now because of this situation where Sandy Hook people who had won the lawsuit, they were the creditors.
	They had their thumb on the scale and said, well, you know, we've got this big, essentially a credit card here.
	And if the people at The Onion want to buy this, and that was the thing.
	I didn't take it seriously that The Onion would buy them because The Onion is such a failure.
	And the guy who is running it, I saw a clip from him, and he's not witty at all.
	You know what his background was?
	His background was vetting people for information and misinformation.
	Look, people who do that, censors don't have a sense of humor, right?
	But that's where this guy's background is.
	He wants to censor information.
	And so they were able to get money from Bloomberg's Everytown, you know, for gun control and stuff like that.
	They were able to get money from them.
	They were able to get the people, the Sandy Hook creditors, to say, well, we will contribute some of our stuff to it, essentially.
	You know, we own this $1.5 billion worth of Infowars, and so they could give it to whoever they wanted to, essentially.
	And I think The Onion was there just for window dressing.
	But as far as what happens with Infowars, Alex will be fine.
	I'm worried about some of the people that I know that work there, that worked for him for many, many years.
	I don't know what he's going to do next, but I know that Alex is going to continue, and he'll be fine.
	He'll make lots of money.
	He'll be platformed everywhere.
	He's being promoted by Musk and Tucker Carlson and all that crowd.
	But the other people, I don't know if he's going to bring them along or if he's going to do his own thing.
	For years and years, he was solo.
	And it wasn't until the early teens, 2000s, that he started building it out to have other people that were there.
	And so I don't know what he's going to do in terms of the future.
	They may wind up getting some of this stuff pulled back.
	All I can say is that Roger Stone was outbid to buy Infowars, somebody said.
	Roger Stone was rumored to be putting together his consortium.
	And there was only two people, two groups that were doing it.
	So Roger might have had something to do with that.
	But as I said, I really thought that Alex would have more money because of the money of his family, because of what he socked away that they had.
	That they haven't gotten a hold of, I'm sure.
	And so I figured, you know, he's got a lot of billionaire friends that he's cultivated over the years.
	If you've got a billion dollars, Alex is your friend.
	He's going to be right there.
	But I figured that he was going to have more money that he'd be able to get it.
	But they had the ability, because they were the creditors, to say, no, well, we are going to apply our credits to this.
	And so we'll see.
	See if that's what happens.
	I was surprised that it came out yesterday as well because what everybody was saying in the process, it was supposed to not happen until Friday.
	Again, this is this bankruptcy trustee getting really aggressive.
	And thank you for the tip, Doug.
	I really appreciate that.
	I would just say that I'm not surprised that it's being taken over by The Onion.
	Because I saw...
	People say, how do you go bankrupt, right?
	Gradually, then suddenly.
	I saw InfoWars turn into The Onion.
	Gradually, then suddenly.
	When Trump came into office and Roger came there, Alex started turning into The Onion, and it had absolutely no credibility.
	And the difference between The Onion, Babylon Bee, and Infowars is that Alex would lie to people and they would think it was the truth and not satire.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	The David Knight Show. .
	Well, this is from Marilyn B. I've had this over here and I didn't read it earlier.
	It actually goes back to November the 1st.
	It's a small gift to express my thanksgiving for your Christian news analysis.
	Alex did us a favor of turning you loose.
	Did me a favor too.
	I'm so happy to be here in Tennessee.
	It's the climate that I like and the area that I like.
	So she said it's worth a silver dollar and more.
	She said a real silver dollar.
	So I appreciate that.
	Thank you very much.
	Let's talk a little bit about the pharmaceutical stuff because we now have...
	A mRNA identified as a cardiotoxin and of course you know we have seen this before but they are also talking about an amplifying a cardiotoxin that is out there a self-amplifying and when I look at that it's like so exactly how is that different you know what is it about this that is that is really different Because
	the same thing is happening.
	As they say, well, it's going to continue to replicate and so forth.
	It does seem that it has something that is different, but I've always talked about it as being the Genetic code ingestion.
	And we do see that that still is the case.
	And so it's not clear why that is happening, but this is another example of the FDA just saying, well, yeah, go for it.
	We don't really care.
	And when you look at a Japanese trial for self-amplifying mRNA, they had several people die that were in the clinical trial.
	But the FDA doesn't care about that.
	The Japanese health agencies don't care about that.
	That's one of the reasons why it must be reformed.
	Even if it legitimizes these illegitimate organizations, something has to be done to shine the light on this reprehensible stuff.
	And again, I don't really understand what it is that has changed in terms of self-amplifying mRNA.
	They said, well, this is going to go on forever.
	We see that happening already.
	You know, I don't know.
	Last research I saw, they said, well, here we are, you know, a year or two after people got vaccinated, we're still finding it if we look for it.
	And that's what I said at the very beginning.
	I said, so it hijacks your body as they described it when Trump did the dog and pony show.
	They said, well, we're going to turn your body into a manufacturing facility to manufacture this vaccine.
	So what is it that stops it?
	We really don't know.
	We were just talking about the cabinet, and Brian Shulhavi had an interesting article.
	He said, Trump appointed COVID-19 vaccinated cabinet members who supported his Operation Warp Speed.
	He said, it appears that most of these people who are very loyal to him were also very loyal to his vaccine that he is so proud of.
	Here's the clip that he put together of Kristi Noem, Huckabee, all these people cheering the vaccine.
	For well over a year, our Department of Health has been working around the clock to defeat the virus.
	We've all known this virus as COVID-19.
	And since it arrived in South Dakota, my position has not wavered.
	I am your governor, and I've always told you the truth.
	Late last year, under the leadership of President Trump, Operation Warp Speed was launched with the end goal of delivering life-saving vaccines to every American in our country.
	And now under the Biden administration, this initiative is yielding the fruits of such courageous efforts.
	Therefore, I come to you today to announce the following.
	Starting Monday, April 5, 2021, every resident over the age of 16 in the state of South Dakota will be eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine shot.
	And there they are, administering the shot.
	Isn't that great?
	Everybody.
	Everybody can get it for free.
	I'm going to be very clear, Sean.
	I've had the vaccine, so, you know, I'm not an anti-vaxxer.
	Wow, Andrea, last time I checked, we have a vaccine because President Trump created Operation Warp Speed.
	There has never been a vaccine brought to the market in less than four years.
	Most of them are between five and 20.
	This one came to us in 10 months, despite all the people who laughed at President Trump.
	How about that?
	Yeah.
	Just remove all the safety concerns.
	We can get it really fast.
	Ultimately, people should get vaccinated.
	Everyone should be vaccinated.
	There's no reason not to be vaccinated.
	Did you get yours really?
	Did you really get yours?
	Here's Michael Waltz.
	There are now two COVID-19 vaccines on the verge of being ready for mass distribution.
	But getting the vaccines to those who need it the most will be a complex undertaking and will span the end of President Trump's term in office and the beginning of President Biden's.
	Yeah, I'm confident in the plan, the administration's plan.
	There's a former head of the Defense Logistics Agency, a general, that's running the logistics and distribution plan.
	Oh, that makes it all good.
	Central Florida Congressman Michael Waltz is talking about...
	We didn't do any testing, but we've got a general who's going to distribute it.
	How about that?
	Does that make it good?
	...in distribution...
	General Gus Perna has spent a career handling logistics and distribution for the U.S. Army.
	As a member of Operation Warp Speed, his team as well as Health and Human Services has already held meetings with the incoming Biden administration.
	The Food and Drug Administration says no COVID-19 vaccines will be approved without passing its safety checks.
	Science will guide our decisions.
	This is Stephen Hahn.
	The FDA will not permit any pressure from anyone.
	He left the Trump Administration window work for Moderna.
	The FDA is reportedly considering stricter guidelines for the emergency authorization of a COVID vaccine.
	Are you okay with that?
	Well, I tell you what, we're looking at that.
	That has to be approved by the White House.
	We may or may not approve it.
	The White House is now threatening the head of the FDA, suggesting that if that agency doesn't authorize the Pfizer vaccine by the end of today, Commissioner Stephen Hahn's job could be on the line.
	Sir, it's designed to improve trust in the vaccine.
	Do you think that's not needed?
	Well, I have tremendous trust in these massive companies.
	I have really good news.
	I have tremendous trust in big pharma.
	Our nation has achieved a medical miracle.
	We have delivered a safe and effective vaccine in just nine months.
	This is one of the greatest scientific accomplishments in history.
	I am thrilled to report that the FDA has authorized the Pfizer vaccine.
	We have given Pfizer and other companies a great deal of money, hoping this would be the outcome.
	And it was.
	Isn't that great?
	And of course, here is Tulsi Gabbard.
	A little bit hard to say anything when you've got your head covered with everything you can think of.
	A mask, a face shield, all the rest of this stuff.
	Yeah, there's the lady that runs PSYOPs.
	The whole thing was a PSYOP. The whole thing was a political grift.
	The whole thing was, did these people really get the shot?
	Or are they just sycophants for the guy who wants to sell it to you?
	He's a great salesman.
	As Rothschild said, we could really use that guy.
	The question is, who was it that was really using him?
	Musk and others in Silicon Valley want to replace banks with fintech and cryptocurrency.
	Well, we'll see what's going to happen with that in terms of the cast that is there.
	MAGA folks are not going to like this guy that he's put in there.
	If you look at his bio, American Investor Hedge Fund partner with George Soros and Quantum, as I mentioned the other day.
	Of course, you've already got...
	Day one, Darren Beatty's out there trying to spend that.
	He and his husband, a former New York prosecutor, have got two children.
	And so as Brian Shalhavi says, so a gay Wall Street hedge fund manager who's got two children with his husband.
	Obviously trafficked from their biological parents because gay men can't produce children.
	And he's also a Yale graduate.
	Remember how Alex Jones went to Yale and did a thing in front of it to oppose DeSantis?
	You know, he went to Yale, so he must have been part of Skull and Bones.
	Quite probably was.
	probably jd vance as well anyway last year says the brian shulhavi of vaccine impact he was one who did that compilation of um uh these uh the trump cabinet pushing vaccines he said last year when i saw that rfk jr had met with former cia director mike pompeo as kennedy revealed in a tucker carlson interview i suspect that he's being vetted for any government position since he was still running for president at the time and he talked about his strange dinner and There's a clip there.
	I'm not going to play that for you, but you can go there and see it at Vaccine Impact if you want to, or Health Impact.
	He said, I had a really strange dinner with Pompeo, Hillary Clinton, Boris Johnson, and others.
	Brian Chavez says, how can you get any more swampy than that?
	He says, if you watch this, notice that the guy that's interviewing him there says, who invited you?
	How did you get into that group of people?
	I just completely ignored it and kind of changed the subject and started talking about something else.
	And he said, yeah, I found out that Mike Pompeo is actually a good guy who really wanted to clean up the CIA. And he had regrets that he didn't do that.
	And, you know, one of the things that RFK Jr.
	then said, he said, you know, you've got two different parts of the CIA. You have the ones who do the espionage, getting information.
	He said, we need that.
	And then he said, and then we got the ones who do the plans.
	And he goes, and that's where all the assassinations and things like that happen.
	And he says, we got to separate these things.
	That isn't going to do it.
	I mean, as long as we got an organization of people that can do assassinations, they will do assassinations.
	And of course, that information is going to make its way over there to them.
	That's what the listener was talking about in terms of Trying to restore people's faith in these evil institutions.
	You've got to be careful that we don't do that.
	By the way, when I was talking about Susie Wiles, for example, I got a...
	Susan Bradford, who is an author and has a substack, contacted me and said, well, there was actually a smear that was going on with Susie Wiles.
	She said, all this stuff...
	They came out, she said, it's actually not substantiated.
	Her article on Substack is the heinous smearing of Susie Wiles within alt media.
	And so I want to correct what I had to say.
	She went through and she said, so if we go back and we look at the Mercury Group that she was with as a lobbyist, and she's been a lobbyist for decades.
	And you go back and you look at the Mercury Group, and it was reported not just by Rents and Alex.
	I thought it was suspicious because that video was gone before Infowars was taken down.
	They had taken that down.
	And Rents said at the time, this report is disappearing all over the place.
	And what was it that kicked that off?
	Well, it was Trump Coming after RFK Jr.
	and said he doesn't know anything that he's talking about in terms of vaccines.
	It was ignited from Trump's criticism in April of RFK Jr.
	And the information, he said, his views on vaccines are fake, as is everything else about his candidacy.
	And so the people were supporting him on vaccines, and of course you had Kennedy Beacon and others.
	Kennedy Beacon was one that I looked at, and I thought it was very interesting that these different reports that had been done right after Trump had criticized RFK Jr.
	and had been done by organizations that were in favor of RFK Jr., they were all being memory-holded everywhere.
	But you can go back and I found this one from Kennedy Beacon.
	I found this one by going back to the archives.
	And so you have, you know, the Infowars thing disappeared.
	This was deep-sixed as well.
	And they were drawing some of their information from yet another group that was holistic news.
	And so what all these people were saying was that Mercury's clientele includes Pfizer, Gavi, Vaccine Alliance, UN Foundation, all the rest of this.
	And Goliad, I talked about that.
	And so Susan Bradford contacted me and she said, well, I looked this up.
	And if you look at her involvement there, when she came in, she went back and each of these companies, she went to OpenSecrets.org and she looked at their client list for the years that Susie Weil was there from 2022 on and then also went to the other side and And look to see who had given money,
	who had hired Mercury, and look at their client list.
	And so she looked at Gavi.
	She said, well, did they hire them during that period of time, 2022 to 2024?
	Gavi, GlaxoSmithKline, Gilead, Monsanto, Pfizer, Johnson& Johnson, all of these were listed as people that Susie Wiles had worked with.
	They did not work with them during that period of time, so I just wanted to correct that.
	And she did a great job of going through it.
	When I looked at this, because I saw, first of all, That had been reported several different times by other people.
	And, of course, that can happen as people just pass along a lie.
	But also, I thought it was interesting that they'd all disappeared.
	Now, maybe they disappeared because they realized that it was a lie.
	I looked at it and thought, well, I think this has disappeared because, as we've seen so many times, when these political alliances shift, These shifty people in the alternative media or the mainstream media will get rid of what they had said before.
	So when the enemy now becomes your ally, you get rid of the bad things that you said about your enemy before because it's simply about pleasing the group.
	So I thought that was important to correct that.
	I will just say that when you go back and look at the information that's done by Holistic News, and I have not gone back and Look to see if these organizations had been hired, had had connection with Mercury before they hired Susie Wiles.
	But the bottom line is that the two years that she was there, that did not happen.
	But if you go back and you look at the people who work at Mercury, that also raises some interesting connections.
	And the company's chairman, Dan Tishman, honorary chair emeritus of Natural Resources Defense Council, they went on the attack against Kennedy.
	Then you have Ashley Bowman, managing director for Mercury's Tampa office.
	Communications director, communications advisor at the DNC, the Democrat National Committee.
	You have their senior team, Adina Minchner, director of governmental compliance, worked in sales and marketing for GlaxoSmithKline.
	Tony Moffitt, a Mercury partner, was the top government affairs executive at Monsanto.
	Managing director, Tammy Gordon, was director of digital experience for Novavax, Promoting its vaccine for COVID in 40 countries before running a digital communications operation for Biden 2020 campaign in Florida.
	You see, Susie Wiles' page was also scrubbed.
	The last archived version of it was Friday, November the 8th.
	I found the link to it on the 10th, and so I was able to go back and find that in the archives as well.
	Here's the bottom line.
	They will work for anybody.
	And that's the bottom line for Susie Wiles.
	This is the Uni Party, folks.
	You see these people, sometimes they do work.
	These individuals come from one of these vaccine companies, and then they become lobbyists and back and forth in the same way that Stephen Hahn, who was there at the FDA, and had that back and forth with Trump.
	Trump said, you're going to either approve that today or you're going to be fired.
	He goes to work for Moderna.
	First of all, he approved it.
	And then he went to work for Moderna.
	Scott Gottlieb, who was head of the FDA prior, he went to Pfizer.
	And I think he's got a very high-ranking position.
	I can't remember exactly.
	I think he's on the board of Pfizer, but he's very high, Scott Gottlieb.
	And so this is the Uniparty.
	Whether you're talking about Democrats or Republicans, there's a revolving door, of course, between them and the industry that they're supposed to regulate.
	The lobbyists, they'll work for Gates, or they'll work for Trump, or they'll work for these other people.
	And, of course, that's the issue.
	It's one big club.
	And that's where she is as well.
	And I mentioned all of that.
	Because of this partisan euphoria thinking, that's it.
	Conservatism is back.
	And it's like, Trump's not a conservative.
	He's perfectly fine with Hillary Clinton and the Clintons as well as Jeffrey Epstein.
	The big picture here is that it is a unit party.
	And the big picture is these top lobbyists are hired guns.
	And they're not driven by ideology.
	They're driven by money, and they're going to network with other people like them.
	But again, you know, when you go back and look at these things, she, just to clarify, talking specifically about her, she was not a lobbyist for these organizations.
	She worked with people who had come from those organizations, who perhaps in the past had also been lobbyists for those organizations.
	But while she was there, she did not do the lobbying for them.
	And I still have people passing on.
	This was sent to me by John three days after I did the report on Monday about it.
	So we're getting clarifications about it as well as more people saying, hey, you need to cover this.
	You know, we're talking about my concerns.
	Again, RFK Jr.
	and what he had to say about the labs.
	We have David Icke retweeted something from Concerned Citizen who said, COVID justice is coming.
	This virus began in a lab.
	And he puts up a clip of Rama slimy.
	Talking about how it came from a lab.
	And it's not true.
	So now we know what we should have known all along, which was that this virus, COVID, began in a lab.
	It is a shame.
	Your career began in Big Pharma.
	As long as it did to get to this cancer.
	He came from a lab.
	You want to know why?
	They used the threat of racism to suppress any iota of debate.
	Two years ago, people ought to remember this right now.
	If we don't learn from our history, we will never get better.
	Big tech companies censored, mark my words, censored someone from being able to say...
	Martin Sparelli's friend here.
	That's who he is.
	What a snake this guy is.
	What did we do?
	We actually created the spread of more misinformation.
	We have to learn from our history or else we're going to keep making the same mistakes.
	Free speech is a precondition for truth.
	I agree.
	You better learn from your history and stop following people like Vivek the Snake.
	Rama slimy.
	And so he's saying the virus began in lab and concerned citizens.
	This is great.
	We're going to expose all this.
	Trump's going to fix all this stuff.
	No, they're the guys who are shoveling the excrement on you.
	David Icke says this is absolute crap.
	COVID did not start in a lab.
	It didn't start anywhere.
	The entire Trump team knows that COVID was a scam.
	And you saw this.
	Do you think that they really took the vaccine?
	All those people, you know.
	Clearly they don't know what kind of scam, and now they serve the self-styled father of the vaccine, who responded according to the cult script and was president when the mass censorship was happening.
	The gaslighting and the rewriting of history is extraordinary.
	And then David Icke says this, which I thought was very interesting.
	He said, so how is Kennedy going to expose the fake COVID vaccine agenda without exposing Trump's central role?
	That'll be interesting to watch.
	And you know, when you look at this and you go back and talk about Susie Wiles, okay?
	Yeah, she was not a lobbyist for these things, but she was there as Trump's manager and everything.
	She was there running everything for him From 2021, right after January the 6th stuff, from 2021 on.
	You know, Trump, as recently as the reason all these articles were there, going back to the end of April, at the end of April and beyond, Trump was still calling the vaccine the greatest thing ever.
	Why didn't Susie Wiles stop him?
	Is it because she hangs out with all of these people who worked for all of these pharmaceutical things who probably in the past had been lobbyists for them?
	You had all these other people like Alex and like Wayne Allen Root who had flipped the switch and said, okay, now we're going to tell people that the vaccine is harmful after it's gone out.
	We're not going to tell them it's sugar water anymore.
	We're going to tell them it's harmful.
	And then they got caught in this same kind of, you know, just like he says, well, what is RFK Jr.
	going to do?
	Because he's now telling everybody how bad these vaccines are.
	But now he's going to go to work for the guy that created him that is so proud of him.
	What's he going to do?
	And that was a difficult position that people like Alex and Wayne Allen Root were in.
	What do I do?
	You know, I've told everybody how bad these vaccines are.
	And, you know, Biden, we put it all on Biden.
	But now Trump is taking credit for it?
	That doesn't work, you know?
	So it's going to be interesting to see how this happens.
	And yet, you know, Susie Wiles didn't tell him.
	All of that time did not tell him, hey, shut up about this stuff.
	Either that or she doesn't have the kind of clout to get him to be quiet about it.
	Guard Goldsmith, he says, I think Trump ought to be challenged on his silence about his jabs.
	That stands in counter distinction from his bringing in Mr.
	Kennedy.
	I wonder if any reporter will.
	If they do, they will not be working for that organization anymore.
	And they will certainly get another interview with Trump, but they'll probably get fired from that organization.
	RFK Jr.'s big push to stop pharma ads on TV, he says, that won't jibe with the First Amendment.
	Well, I don't know.
	They were able to stop all cigarette ads, right?
	Cigarette ads got banned.
	Whether or not you agree with it, that's the precedent.
	And if they were able to do that by saying cigarette is harmful, so we're not going to allow any tobacco ads.
	Then, you know, I think they can do it with this.
	I'm not saying that I support it.
	I'm just saying that that's the precedent.
	Clearly could make the case that these shots are much more dangerous than a cigarette.
	But tree-free 56.
	Americans are so unhealthy, it was easy to make them believe there was a pandemic.
	Everybody feels awful to do this unhealthy lifestyle.
	I still agree.
	Trump Burger Forever.
	RFK is there to tell us it's okay, everybody.
	I looked over the vaccine.
	It's 100% safe now.
	Trust me.
	We'll see what he does.
	Like I said, it's going to be kind of interesting to see how this ends.
	We know what the situation is.
	And whatever he says, we're going to tell people the truth one way or the other.
	Disaster is waiting to happen.
	With a self-amplifying bird flu vaccine, as I pointed out.
	And again, I don't really know what is different about this.
	This is an article, again, from Children's Health Defense.
	so they put out good stuff and um yet you know it can be a limited hangout as i said you know rfk junior says no i like vaccines we're all vaccinated and everything his wife required people to have um i think been vaccinated or something before they came to the party i think it was in in december of 2021 the christmas party and Self-amplifying mRNA injections contain an enzyme that instructs the body on how to make more mRNA.
	Well, it's my understanding that that was always the case.
	It allows for an unknown period of toxin-antigen production.
	Again, it's still running through.
	And so self-replication, it could become immortal forever, antagonizing your and your fetus and your immune system with antigens.
	This is all an ongoing concern.
	This is a concern for all of us, even those of us who did not get the vaccine.
	The self-replicating technology takes mRNA vaccines to a new level.
	They said the vaccine contains a gene for the spike protein and a gene for a protein called replicase, which allows the RNA to replicate.
	Again, I always called it the genetic code injection.
	And it was always able to replicate, and it's continuing to replicate as it is.
	I just think that this is basically doing it on steroids, if you will, right?
	The replication helps to amplify that.
	After the rollout of the first global genetic experiment with mRNA technology, it seems unbelievable that even more aggressive attack on our body and genetics should be tried out, said Rose, who's writing this author who is opposing it, who has a substack, Jessica Rose, PhD, said there are major red flags with these products.
	So we'll see what happens with it.
	She said, you know, whenever you've got something that is genetically modified, an organism, it requires specific licensing, application, and procedures.
	But they didn't do that with the Trump shot, did they?
	This is a genetic modification of organisms, of your body.
	But they didn't go through the process.
	They just waved all of that away.
	Arcturus' Phase I clinical trial will enroll approximately 200 healthy adults in the U.S., They don't care what they do to 200 people.
	They don't care what they do to you and your family and your children.
	They don't care.
	As a matter of fact, they want to depopulate.
	This is Nazi science that these people are doing.
	You know, first, do no harm.
	And you can't do things without people's consent.
	All of these things that came out of the Nuremberg trial, they just all brushed us aside.
	They included a warning to child bearers to wear condoms when engaging in intercourse during the trial period, they said.
	Again, they're not going to say men or women.
	Japan's recent inclusion of this, they did trials with that, and they found they had a 90% adverse event rate.
	And they had five people die in the trial.
	So how many of these 200 people are going to die?
	And we just had a court case where somebody signed up for a clinical trial for one of these vaccines, and part of the deal was that they would pay your medical expenses if they didn't kill you and if they injured you.
	And then they said, no, we don't have to because of PrEP Act.
	And the judge says, no, you will have to do that.
	That's in your contract.
	And so, anyway, because they self-replicate for an unknown period of time, a small dose of a replicon mRNA is expected to be more hazardous than a larger dose of conventional mRNA.
	One person writing this, Jablonowski, says, the difference between medicine and poison is dose.
	How many times have you heard me say that about fluoride?
	And why is it that we put fluoride in the water when the difference between a medicine and poison is a dosage?
	Arcturus promotes smaller doses, but the reality is that we've never been able to measure the antigen exposure from any of the mRNA vaccines.
	None of them.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back.
	Before we go, Jason Barker.
	Good to see you, Jason.
	The difference between the mRNA and the self-amplifying mRNA is that one continues to make the spike, and the other one makes more vaccine.
	There you go.
	You got it figured out.
	Okay.
	I thought we were onto something there, but I like the sarcasm.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	Well, let's talk a little bit about what, if anything, can be done about schools and why something should be done about them.
	As I pointed out the other day when Trump was talking about, you know, he's going to fix the Department of Education or get rid of it altogether.
	We'll see what happens.
	I tweeted out and said, you know, our public schools have become Brave New World.
	Pubic schools focused on perversion.
	I said, if you think the government at any level should run education, that's just a variation of Hillary's, it takes a village to raise a child.
	Of course, that was Trump's pal, you know.
	Government, I said, should have no role in education.
	It inevitably leads to a violation of parental rights and religious liberty.
	State-run education, of course, was a plank of the Communist Party.
	It's now bipartisan conventional wisdom.
	Oh, yeah.
	What are we going to do to fix the state schools?
	Well, kill them.
	Okay?
	Get rid of them.
	Defund them.
	Mises.org says your kids are already communists.
	College will make it even worse.
	Children in the U.S. are raised to be communists.
	It doesn't matter if you send them to public or private schools, as all of the education degree-granting schools bias the learning process against competitive, capitalist, liberal, or open-minded society.
	Indeed, the curriculum is less about learning about reality and is heavy on propagandizing children against capitalism and towards communism.
	American society teaches hatred and distrust of everything capitalist, even though its benefits are all around us.
	He said, today on my drive to work, I heard an otherwise intelligent retired athlete say the following.
	If you're a billionaire sports team owner, you obviously have screwed a lot of people over.
	But in the case of building sports stadiums, taxpayer subsidies are needed because they create jobs.
	He says everything about this statement is wrong.
	You're not necessarily a criminal because you've got a lot of money, but you are a criminal if you steal money from other people to expand your business and then tell everybody, well, it's for the good of the community.
	You know, what about all these small businesses that have to pay the taxes and don't get anything at all?
	I've always talked about these stadiums, but I think that is the issue in a nutshell With what we're looking at with Musk and with Vivek the Snake, these are guys who have made so much money out of biotech, both of them involved in biotech, and all this green grift stuff that Musk is in, it's made him the wealthiest man in the world, the nonsense that they're going to make this more efficient.
	Churches issue a statement, warning against government LGBT indoctrination.
	This is a joint statement signed by multiple church organizations, including the Evangelical Lutheran Church, the Baptist Church of Norway, the Pentecostal movement in Norway, and the Norwegian Roman Catholic Bishops Council.
	They're all warning the Norwegian government against imposing LGBT indoctrination.
	Where will they impose it?
	They'll impose it on the schools.
	Joint Christian Declaration on Diversity of Gender and Sexuality warns of trying to impose leftist ideologies.
	You can call it an ideology, you can call it a religion, whatever you want.
	They've got their gods, they're fiercely worshipped, they have things that you must do, things that you cannot do.
	It is a religion.
	And again, as I've said many times, Earl Dabney going back to the end of the Civil War, he said, if you have government-run schools, you're going to have somebody's religion being taught.
	And it's going to be a violation of other people's religious liberties to be involved in that.
	He said, there's no way that you can ever reconcile that.
	No way.
	I mean, you could have a school where you teach somebody to operate a piece of equipment.
	But anything other than that, he said, genuine education always involves worldview, which is your religious perspective.
	But these churches in Norway said, we hold that public authorities and governmental bodies exceed their mandate and their power by attempting to pressure citizens and organizations to adapt to queer theory on gender, sexuality, and marriage.
	But see, if we understand what the purpose of the schools originally was, the purpose of the schools originally were conservatives and Christians and capitalists who decided that they wanted their values instilled.
	What went wrong?
	Well, the communists understand what that is, and you've got people like Antonio Gramsci who said we're going to march through the institutions and take them over, and they did!
	So he created this thing that was supposed to serve conservatives and Christians and capitalists and so forth.
	Instead, what it became was antithetical to all of those things.
	Because it was flawed in its inception.
	We should not be creating institutions Taxpayer-funded, you know, compulsory-funded, compulsory attendance.
	We should not have institutions like that in a free society, regardless of whose values they're teaching.
	And if it's going to teach your values today, it'll teach your enemy's values tomorrow.
	The Christian Institute explains the target of the statement is the government's action plan on gender and sexual diversity.
	The feds in Norway apparently are scheming to impose regional courses and one-day events on LGBT. A total of 47 denominations and organizations have joined the protests.
	They said we stand for a democratic, pluralistic, open-minded society where there is space for diversity of beliefs characterized by mutual respect.
	Well, that means you're going to have to get rid of the government institutions.
	Because it's going to push one religion, one set of values.
	Statement continues to say the notion that gender is a subjective category and that sexual and gender identity can be freely chosen on the basis of feelings or preference irrespective of biological sex is based on ideology.
	It has no biological or scientific foundation.
	That's right.
	It's ideological.
	It's religious, if you will.
	Such ideology is incompatible with our faith, our thought, our worldview.
	And it can lead to confusion, insecurity, and destructive life choices for many children and young people.
	See, unlike the NPR CEO, we believe that there is truth.
	We believe that it can be known.
	We believe that it should be debated.
	But we believe that the government should not be the final arbiter of it.
	And you want to know where all of this censorship and all of this we're going to stop misinformation and disinformation begins?
	It begins in the school systems.
	Always in the schools.
	They would decide what would be taught and they would decide what they're going to teach you about history and everything else.
	The church's statement recalls a number of biblical teachings that God is the creator and sustainer of the universe, that he's created human beings, male and female, that all people are created in the image of God, loved by him, have the same inherent dignity and equal preciousness.
	Marriage, too, they said, is a divine institution ascribed in natural law.
	Marriage unites one man and one woman.
	Here's the problem.
	They need to stand up and do what they know is right, even if that means that they leave the system and they create a parallel system.
	They said, there's only two biological sexes, female and male, and the sex of each individual is determined at conception.
	It is immensely problematic to teach children and young people that there are boys, girls, and other genders.
	Just come out and say that it's wrong.
	The best they can do is to say, well, it's immensely problematic.
	Please don't get mad at me.
	Please don't punish me.
	Please don't cancel me.
	I'm just saying it's problematic.
	Don't you see the problems here?
	Can't we all just get along?
	No, they're going to beat the crap out of you if you have that kind of attitude.
	Can't we all just get along?
	It's just, anyway.
	What is happening now in the U.S.? Top Christian broadcasters are fighting government's demand for a public shaming rule.
	And so you've got the FCC, which should have no authority, and should have no authority, no control over content that is said.
	The FCC should be there to allocate spectrum and to make sure that somebody's not running over onto your frequency or spectrum and that type of thing.
	It should not be controlling content.
	But they want these Christian broadcasters now to start reporting to them about the demographics of who they hire and all the rest of this stuff.
	And I said, look, we know this is going to be used as a public shaming thing.
	And so you've got the national...
	Religious broadcasters, American Family Association, Texas Association of Broadcasters, many others have a dispute now before the Fifth Circuit Court.
	Pacific Legal said that this FCC plan is really a public shaming rule.
	The one that is the lead plaintiff in it is some organization called The Dove.
	They now operate nearly three dozen faith-based radio and TV stations, cable channels, and more.
	While the FCC claims its demands are for equal employment opportunity, there's already an equal employment opportunity organization that does that.
	So it's like something else is up here.
	They said, the FCC's rule is a thinly-veiled attempt to pressure stations into race and sex-conscious hiring practices.
	The Communications Act of 1934 gave the FCC authority to regulate broadcasting, not to enforce what amounts to race and gender quotas.
	They want to look at content as well as the rest of this stuff.
	Well, Stephen Hawking's end-of-the-world prediction is now being supported by NASA. Isn't that interesting?
	Stephen Hawkins.
	God has chosen the foolish things of this world to confound the wise.
	But NASA says, oh yeah, he's absolutely right about the end of the world.
	He doesn't know any more about the end of the world than Julie Green does.
	I mean, he probably knows even less about it.
	He doesn't know how the world began.
	And he doesn't know how the world is going to end either.
	He warned that unless humanity changes its ways by 2600, the planet would turn into a gigantic ball of fire.
	Well, he's starting to get close.
	God didn't give us a date, and it's not going to be because of your SUV, but yes, he is going to turn the planet into a gigantic ball of fire at some point in time.
	Unless you change your ways, if you're in opposition to God, you will wind up inside of that gigantic ball of fire eternally, I guess.
	But, you know, the forgiveness is free, but you've got to realize that you need it.
	You know, that's what's so troubling about watching Trump.
	I am...
	I'm not a Trump supporter, as you know, but it bothers me when I see people ask him point blank over and over again.
	And it's interesting, it's not the Christians who ask him these questions, is it?
	It's not these selfie Christian pastors who are taking pictures of themselves, praying over him and with him, or, well, he doesn't pray, but, you know, praying over him and putting it out on social media.
	They never ask him, have you asked God to forgive you?
	He doesn't think he needs it.
	But getting back to Hawkins, he attributes this frightening forecast to the effects of global warming and climate change.
	As I said, unbelievably foolish.
	Unbelievably foolish.
	And the greenhouse effect.
	NASA has confirmed his theory.
	Have they, really?
	Well, as Thomas Sowell said, prove it.
	I want to see your proof.
	They've not provided a specific expiration date for our planet.
	And I wish the Christians would understand that as well.
	However, they caution that if a human consumption of energy resource continues unabated, our end could come sooner than anticipated.
	Climate change also poses a significant risk to wildlife, with sloths potentially facing extinction by 2100.
	Wait a minute.
	You just told me that the world's going to end in a giant fireball, but you're worried about the sloths who might die out before 2100.
	This is like the National Lampoon thing.
	Newsflash.
	World to end tomorrow.
	Women and minorities.
	Hardest hit.
	And sloths, I guess.
	Um...
	Well, consider the ant in his ways and be wise, I guess, and not the sloths.
	We don't want to be slothful.
	But look, isn't it amazing that the people that are held up to be so wise...
	Can be so incredibly foolish.
	Eric, thank you very much for the tip.
	I appreciate that.
	And nobody wrote this up here, but it just reminds me, please like the broadcast and share it.
	That really does.
	Actually, I remember that on my own.
	Karen is laughing.
	I remember that on my own.
	Thank you so much.
	I appreciate your support.
	Handy says, my personal observation is that the jabs have the serious problems And the unjabbed in proximity just get minor side effects briefly.
	Well, that's good.
	And, of course, Andy is working in EMS, and he's been seeing this stuff firsthand.
	Yeah, well, we'll see what happens when they do the self-amplifying stuff.
	Maybe that's what the purpose of that is, to make it intensify.
	Who knows?
	We do know that there was something going on because we had women who were in proximity to people who had been vaccinated were talking at the time, if you remember, about how that had influenced their cycles, menstrual cycles.
	And so, you know, there is some kind of shedding stuff that is going on.
	We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	Well, this is an article I thought was very important, and I was going to lead off the program with it, but I thought with everything that's happening with RFK Jr., that was also very important, very interesting, and even entertaining, I guess, as the CNN guy said.
	This is in the UK. But we're going to see this happening everywhere.
	All this stuff is coming.
	UK hate speech laws used against a conservative journalist.
	Britain's Orwellian Speech Police, writes Breitbart, knocked on a veteran journalist's door.
	Alison Pearson, longtime conservative columnist for London's Daily Telegraph newspaper, said that two police officers came to her home on Sunday to inform her that she was under investigation.
	Over comments that she had posted on X on Twitter.
	A year ago, a year ago, when the writer asked the police to disclose the content of her supposed thought crime, the officer refused to answer.
	He also refused to tell her who it was.
	She said they refused to reveal the name of her accuser.
	And they even said to her, it's not the accuser.
	They're called the victim.
	Well, if you're a police officer, you ought to understand that there's this thing called due process, right?
	Somebody can accuse you, but they don't officially become the victim until we establish that the accusations are true.
	But we don't care about due process.
	You see, everything that was the basis of Western civilization is being rolled back all at once.
	So...
	She asked about the contents.
	She asked about the accuser.
	No, we're not going to tell you anything.
	She speculates, however, that it may have to do with her post concerning the October 7th terror attacks on Israel by Islamist Hamas terrorists, as it was a hot topic online at the point last year.
	She said it was surreal.
	I've got hundreds of black and Asian followers on Twitter.
	None of them ever suggested that I'd said something bad or hateful.
	Besides, who decides where you set the bar for what's offensive?
	That's the key thing.
	The police officers seem to be operating according to the George Orwell Operational Manual.
	And of course, we know about that.
	I think our reverence for the truth might have become a bit of a distraction that is preventing us from finding consensus and getting important things done.
	Getting important things done is pushing their agenda, of course.
	Section 17 of the Public Order Act of 1986 deals with content that is likely or intended to cause racial hatred.
	We're investigating a report passed on to us by another force, they said. .
	Who would that be?
	The report relates to a social media post which was subsequently removed.
	Oh, so it was even removed.
	But you see, social media has become your permanent record.
	That was the name of Ed Snowden's book.
	They used to call it, they said, well, we're going to create a life log of everybody.
	And we're going to keep track of everything that you do your entire life.
	And everybody said, we don't want the government doing that.
	So they shut down life log.
	And then the very next day, Facebook began, which is the same thing.
	But of course, Twitter is that as well, right?
	It's not just the platforms that we're told that we must dislike, like Facebook or TikTok or whatever.
	It's also the good one run by Elon Musk, of course, right?
	Twitter.
	Well, while there's some pushback against the proliferation of thought crimes under the previous Tory government, much of the hate speech legal infrastructure was left in place by the Conservative Party.
	Imagine that.
	Just like they do all the green stuff, right?
	And that's the purpose of the conservatives.
	The purpose of the conservatives is to conserve the status quo.
	That's why I've always said I'm not a conservative.
	I want the status quo ante.
	I want to go back to something positive or forward to something that is positive.
	I don't want to just preserve the status quo.
	That's what the conservatives always do.
	I remember listening to Rush all the time.
	They would talk about raising the minimum wage.
	He said, well, you know, it's just going to kick off inflation.
	Nobody's going to be any better off.
	And he would say, why don't we make it, you know, $50 an hour, $100 an hour?
	And we'll all be rich then, right?
	And that's true.
	But I would also say, but why are you arguing that we just keep it where it is right now?
	We need to get rid of the minimum wage, right?
	Right?
	That's the reality.
	But that's just one example.
	Instead of saying, this thing doesn't work, you know, we should not have the authority to do this type of thing, rather than do that, they'll lock it in place.
	And so, well, you know, whatever it is.
	If it's $7.50 an hour, we're going to keep it at $7.50 an hour.
	We're not going to go to $15.
	It's like, why don't you just push back against the minimum wage because you just made the argument about how minimum wage doesn't help anybody.
	After being installed in office over the summer, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper pushed to reverse the move to reduce the recording of non-crime hate incidents.
	But since being introduced in 2014, police in the UK have recorded over 120,000 non-crime hate incidents.
	Now, if it's not crime, why are they keeping track of this?
	Let's say, given the fact that non-crime hate incidents are not crimes...
	There's little that people can do to clear their name.
	Well, normally we'd give you due process and you'd have a review and everything and you'd be able to get acquitted or whatever, but we're going to put you in this database, but it's not a crime, but we're going to put you in a database and label you as somebody who said something hateful.
	And the problem is that prospective employers and other people like that can look through that database and find your name in there.
	And you can't get your name out.
	We have something in the U.S. called a no-fly list and many other things like that.
	You don't even know you're on it until they won't let you fly.
	And how do I get my name off?
	Well, I can't tell you.
	I'm not going to tell you anything about it.
	That's national security, you know.
	Who put me on?
	What are the charges?
	I can't tell you.
	That's national security.
	No, it's Kafka.
	It's Kafkaesque is what this is.
	Just like the U.S. bureaucrats, and they've got regulations.
	They say, well, these are regulations.
	They're not laws.
	And so you don't have any due process.
	You don't have any presumption of innocence.
	You don't get a trial.
	And I can levy any kind of a fine that I want to on you, and it can be excessive, and that's not a problem.
	And that's what they're doing there.
	Well, you know, it's not a crime.
	We're just calling you a hateful person.
	Former conservative home secretary, Suella Braverman, said we need to stop policing words on social media and tackle actual crimes.
	Well, why didn't she stop all this stuff?
	This is what we always see.
	This is why they have the Hegelian construct of the conservatives and the Democrats and the conservatives and the Labor Party, because they can go back and forth and back and forth and never do anything.
	So, Nigel Farage is pushing back on it, of course.
	But we see the same thing happening here in the U.S. as the FBI goes door-knocking on the CEO of Polymarket, and they seize his phone and his electronics.
	Because people are betting on the Trump election.
	They already have shut it down in the United States.
	They say, well, you didn't properly register as a gambling organization or whatever.
	So it's people that are doing it abroad.
	And the guy who made so much money, I think he made something 80 some odd million dollars.
	He was in France.
	And so they said the platform showed Trump with a 58.6 chance of winning the morning before the election day.
	Harris at 41.4.
	And so the FBI is going to intimidate somebody and say, you know, we think that you guys rigged the election or something?
	Here it is.
	The French trader made a profit of $85 million on the bet.
	And that's $50 million more than was previously reported.
	I think he put in $50 million in terms of bets, and then he made a profit of $85 million.
	Well, Ross Ulbricht, this is one of the promises of Trump.
	Is he going to follow through on this?
	Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht posted on November the 12th.
	He said, I finally see the light of freedom at the end of the tunnel.
	He's been in prison for a very long time.
	I've interviewed his mother several times, Lynn Ulbricht.
	What a tragedy.
	I don't know what the situation is with Lynn.
	I've lost touch with her.
	I hope she's okay.
	She'd had a couple heart attacks, and it was an unbelievable stress for her to see her young son given consecutive life sentences for running a website.
	That's what we're talking about here, running a website.
	They wanted to make an example out of him.
	They were because of crypto.
	We've had a lot of people in crypto they've made an example of.
	has got a friend in new hampshire that has had that happen to him but you know they want to make examples of various people and it was one of the most egregious of these political trials i've seen and of course it's not that this doesn't happen to anybody else they were running the same game against the people at the bundy ranch and they would have gotten them except that there was a good person and the bureau of land management who was a whistleblower and he exposed all this stuff
	and the thing was so rigged that a judge dismissed all the charges with prejudice meaning that they could not be refiled but it was the same type of thing in terms of uh covering up exculpatory evidence that would show they were innocent you know things like oh okay well um here's this picture of somebody up on the overpass at the money ranch and he's got a gun he's pointing it through the concrete uh things that were on the side you know you know, the concrete barriers that are there for kind of construction or temporary barriers.
	And so he's threatening these police officers down there.
	I said, is he?
	Or is he just in kind of a defensive position?
	And there was somebody in the picture next to him, crouched down.
	And so they said, why is she crashed down?
	Is it because they were threatening people over a megaphone to shoot?
	Is that why she's crashed?
	No, you can't ask that question.
	Strike that question.
	You didn't hear that question.
	Anything like that, they would shut down.
	Well, in Ross's case, you had multiple FBI agents who had the keys to the website.
	And they were being tried at exactly the same time as Ross.
	They were being tried for stealing nearly a million dollars.
	And, of course, they had the keys to the website.
	They could have done anything, but they would not allow that to be told to the jury.
	Because then the jury would understand that anything that they're accusing Ross Ulbrich of could have been done by the FBI. So they were under trial.
	They were found guilty as well, but of course they didn't go to jail for life.
	The reason he got life for this was because a district attorney in one jurisdiction said, well, he was putting out murder-for-hire contracts on people, and he wasn't.
	And he was never charged with it.
	This is a district attorney who was talking to the press and making these allegations, but he never indicted Ross.
	Yet the sentencing judge used those unindicted allegations that were just told to the press, said, well, he was doing murder for hire, so I'm going to give him three life sentences here.
	Alex Winter, who was a co-star in Bill and Ted's excellent adventure with Keanu Reeves, did a documentary on Ross Ulbrich and the Silk Road stuff.
	But again, you know, when they talk about things, it's not the dark web.
	Well, it's not sinister.
	All the stuff that is done on the dark web is also done on the regular web.
	The difference about the dark web is that they can't see as well on the dark web as they can...
	On the regular internet, where they see everything that everybody is doing.
	So a big part of this was demonization of cash or Bitcoin.
	So, again, Trump could have done something all four years, but he didn't pardon him.
	He did not commute his sentence, despite a lot of pleas from advocates.
	Meanwhile, you had Jared's white-collar criminal friends, who were some of the biggest, I think, the biggest white-collar crimes ever.
	Trump did pardon them.
	Speaking at Libertarian Party's National Convention in May, candidate Trump pledged to ensure Ulbricht's freedom on day one if elected.
	A lot of people are skeptical about that because he didn't do it the first time.
	One person replied to...
	Albrecht said, I don't trust Trump.
	He's already had four years to free you, but he dropped the ball.
	Among Trump's other campaign promises to the crypto industry included firing SEC Commissioner Chair Gary Gensler, which he may not be able to do without cause.
	Well, again, he's being sued by, I think, 16 different jurisdictions for abuse of power for overreach of jurisdiction.
	So that's the type of stuff that could be done.
	But during his first term, when he talked about Bitcoin, Trump had said Bitcoin is not money.
	It's based on thin air.
	But now he's made millions of dollars with NFTs, which is the ultimate thin air scam, I think.
	He's just all over the place.
	This is what I'm saying.
	You never know what Trump is going to do because he's said everything to everybody.
	He's been on both sides of every issue.
	And yet, the MAGA people just project onto him whatever they want him to be.
	Abolish the Department of Homeland Security, writes Mises.
	Yeah, this is Kristi Noem.
	You know, Kristi Noem strikes me as a white GOP version of Lala Harris.
	She's that stupid.
	Again, you know, when Mises talks about this, they're looking at it and saying, well, somehow the U.S. managed to get along for more than 225 years without this.
	And they said it was created to justify more government spending, to reward political allies, to influence local governments with federal grants.
	Well, it does all of that stuff, but that's not the purpose.
	I would disagree with them on this.
	I think this is obviously part of the 9-11 scam.
	And what we see happening here with the creation of DHS, with things like creating the Office of Director of National Intelligence, this is about consolidation of power.
	It's about consolidation of control.
	That's what the founders called it, consolidation.
	We call it centralization.
	And it's not about government waste.
	It's not about people getting stupid and bureaucratic.
	No, this is orchestrated tyranny.
	And we're not really going to get anywhere if we don't understand that this is deliberate.
	Every once in a while, we get people who will come out and kind of say such stupid stuff that it becomes obvious.
	That they are lying to us.
	Here's the Irish leader in terms of talking about illegal immigrants.
	You know, we've had people say, you know, what is a woman?
	And they can't answer that.
	He was asked about an illegal immigrant.
	He doesn't seem to know what one is.
	So do you know how many illegal migrants we have in the country at the moment, for example?
	What does the phrase illegal migrant mean?
	Because that's a phrase that is used by some, but that's not a phrase in law.
	Anybody has a right to come here and seek international protection.
	It is the job then of the Department of Justice to assess the validity of that application.
	Oh yeah, yeah.
	So what is a woman?
	We don't know.
	What is a migrant?
	We don't know.
	It all depends, right?
	What is a baby?
	We don't know.
	Anything, right?
	Well, I'll tell you what a migrant is.
	Here's a good example.
	Switzerland.
	67% of prisoners are foreigners.
	In other words, their prisons are three times bigger than they would normally have.
	They've got three times the number of prisoners that they would normally have.
	And it is now in Germany, for example, half of the prison population is now made up of foreigners.
	They're spending over $2 billion a year for that.
	And in Germany, it's mainly people coming from Turkey, Syria, Afghanistan, the foreign nationals.
	In the Swiss prisons, it's Algerians and Romanians.
	But the bottom line, folks, is that these people are engaged in a deliberate takedown of our societies.
	They want there to be conflict.
	They want there to be internal strife.
	They want the barbarians inside the gate so that people are fighting each other over these things.
	They don't want cohesive units because we might rise up and stop them.
	So we're going to take a quick break, and joining us after the break is going to be Gerald Salenti, and I'm very anxious to talk to him about what he sees happening with gold and the stock markets and the aftermath of the We're going to take
	I'm going to take a quick break, and we will be right back.
	I've got to get something.
	PIANO PLAYS
	PIANO PLAYS
	��
	I'm going to go to the next day.
	Thank you.
	.
	Thank you.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	All right, welcome back, and joining us for the first time post-election is Gerald Slenty.
	Things have really been happening fast.
	Trends Journal is where you can find his excellent publication weekly.
	It's got like 300 pages or so of articles, no fluff in it, and it's like an online magazine.
	You can save 10% off if you use the code KNIGHT at trendsjournal.com.
	Thank you for joining us, Gerald.
	Thanks for having me.
	By the way, when you use the code, it costs you the grand total of $2.50 a week.
	That's great.
	The toilet paper record, the New York Times, $4 a day.
	Wall Street Journal, $5 a day.
	We hardly get any trend value information from either of those papers.
	Maybe one or two articles are of any value.
	It's so sad that journalism has died.
	And again, you could thank that slimeball Slick Willie Clinton, his 1996 Federal Communications Act.
	When he deregulated the communications industry, with thousands and thousands of independent radio stations, TV stations, and newspapers, now six companies control 92% of the media.
	Wow, wow.
	And Soros is going in and buying up a lot of radio stations and everything.
	It's not going to get any better anytime soon, is it?
	No, it's only getting worse.
	So anyway, we're giving people that you can't get anywhere else with trends.
	That's right.
	You know, I call the campaign wrong.
	I thought Harris was going to win.
	And we only go by data.
	You know, I'm a political atheist.
	I don't believe in any of the parties.
	It's a crime syndicate.
	I mean, you saw the covers of the Trends Journal.
	You know, it was the Disney presidential reality show, one of them.
	Minnie Mouse vs.
	Donald Duck.
	Yeah, numbskulls raced to the White House.
	We had both of them.
	So it's not like I liked any of them.
	But we go by the data.
	So let's go back to 2022.
	Inflation was at 9%.
	Midterm elections.
	Biden's poll ratings are in the toilet where he belongs.
	We said the Republicans would not...
	The elections are in November.
	Our May Trends Journal, we said that the Republicans were not going to do well despite this because of their anti-abortion stance.
	Again, not what you want, what you like, what you wish, what's what is.
	And we said Harris is going to hit the campaign trail because of Biden's unpopularity.
	That's what we said back in 2022, May.
	They lost.
	The Republicans did terrible because of abortion.
	We thought that would be a big issue again.
	And so too did the Harris campaign.
	Yeah, that was all of her campaign, basically.
	Yep.
	As the polls showed, only 14% of the people were concerned about abortion this time.
	As the saying goes, it's the economy, stupid.
	Okay, let's go to yesterday.
	The Fed head, Jerome Powell, said, we're not sure about what we're going to be doing with interest rates because the economy is so strong.
	Wait a minute.
	I thought Trump won because of the weak economy for the working class.
	Again, we go by the data.
	The data was showing that consumer confidence...
	In the four months leading up to the campaign and then the last one right before the campaign was the highest in four years.
	That's according to the data.
	Number two.
	So we thought that Harris would get a vast majority of the women vote.
	Well, let's see.
	We said, and since Harris is a woman, And 64% of women say abortion should be legal, according to the Gallup poll.
	We believed it would again be a major issue.
	And so did the Democratic Party.
	It didn't.
	Women's votes for Harris were below President Joe Biden's count in 2020 and Hillary Clinton's in 2016.
	She was down 5% of the women's votes from Biden and down 13% from Clinton.
	Wow.
	We had no idea that that was going to happen.
	Then, again, people say she's not black.
	Again, I don't care what people say.
	According to what she says, if you go to the White House thing and you read what she says, she said that she's a...
	Let me get the exact quote here.
	Well, of course, she was an Indian and proud of it and bragging about it a few years ago and everything.
	Just like they all flip on policies, she flipped on her ethnicity.
	She is, quote, the first woman, the first black American, and the first South Asian American to be elected vice president.
	So anyway, we thought she'd get the black vote.
	So here's the numbers.
	When Biden ran in 2020, he got 87% of the black men's vote.
	And Harris only got 78%.
	When Biden ran, he got 95% of the black women's vote.
	She got 92%.
	Again, she's Jamaican.
	We thought she'd get the Latino vote.
	Didn't happen.
	Let's see.
	Her 22% gain over Trump was lower than Biden's 39% lead when he ran against Trump in 2020 with a Latino vote.
	So again, we called it wrong, but again, we went by the facts.
	And the facts show that also...
	Well, let me ask you this.
	Do you think the economic data was wrong, for example?
	You know, talking about consumer confidence.
	We look at how they rig the inflation calculations, the labor, unemployment figures, and all the rest of the stuff.
	Do you think they rigged consumer confidence and other things like that?
	Because, you know, they will put stuff out like that as a push-poll to try to tell everybody, oh, you're happy with the economy or you're not happy with the economy, you know, to try to create.
	They can use polls to create perception rather than just measure.
	I don't know because this is like from the University of Michigan, these things.
	So I don't know.
	But again, we just go by what's out there.
	And, you know, we don't know if it's rigged.
	Again, if you want to know if it's rigged, again, these are the numbers when we wrote the article.
	And another reason Trump won was despite his getting 73.6 million votes this year, down from 74.2 million when he ran against Joe Biden, Democratic support for, quote, more of the same and keep smiling while unable to answer questions, Harris got only 69.3% of the votes.
	12 million less than the 81.3 million votes Biden got when he ran against Trump in 2020.
	And then people say, well, they rigged the election.
	I get it.
	We're only going by the data.
	Got 12 million less votes.
	So what happened was people didn't care about any of them.
	A lot of people...
	I remember people saying, I don't like either of them.
	And she made such a clown of herself when she...
	Again, we go by what happened.
	She did good during the Democratic convention.
	She put on a good show.
	He beat Trump in the debates, according to the polls.
	And Trump said, I'm not going to debate her anymore.
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Everybody could see that.
	Just like they could see how Biden couldn't handle himself at all in the first debate, they saw the same thing with Trump in the second one.
	Yeah.
	So we thought she was going to do better.
	And then she went on like The View and they asked her, you know, how is your campaign going to be, your election going to be different White House than the Biden White House?
	Well, you know, I'm born from a middle class family.
	And for four minutes, she goes on a whole different direction, doesn't answer the questions.
	She made a fool of herself every time she went out there.
	That's right.
	And she even said, well, I'm not really going to change anything from all of this stuff, as you point out.
	I'm just going to laugh.
	I'm going to say everything's going to be the same.
	I think it was also that everybody, even though it was a very brief period of time, it was enough time for people to see that there was absolutely nothing there.
	And she was absolutely afraid to talk to anybody.
	I mean, just take a look at the Joe Rogan thing, right?
	And so she's afraid to go on with Joe Rogan.
	She was afraid at the very beginning of it.
	Look how long she went without having any interviews.
	And then when she finally had one interview, she's got to bring in her security blanket, her vice president with her to sit next to her, because she can't handle a one-on-one interview, even with a friendly interview, even though she knows that they're going to edit this stuff.
	So I think a lot of that was there.
	But I'm kind of thinking, you know, in terms of the abortion thing...
	I covered the fact that there was, what, maybe like 10 different states that put the right to abortion in their constitution.
	And these were states that, you know, some of them were some of the battleground states and things like that.
	I think that really undercut her.
	And I really think that undercut her issue because they said, look, we can handle this at the state level if they want abortion, which I don't support.
	at the state level.
	They don't need her.
	And she made her entire campaign around that, and the people said, well, we can stop it.
	And that's what I keep telling everybody all the time about all these individual issues.
	I said, each individual issue that is a threat to you, you're better off handling it at state level or at the local level, because you're not going to get it in Washington.
	These people are just a grab bag of weird issues, and you can never trust them to do anything about it.
	So people really didn't, she lost that issue, and she was just an empty suit, or pantsuit, I guess.
	And then Trump, you know, he bragged about him killing Roe versus Wade, but then he came out and said it should be about states' rights.
	So it's exactly what you're saying.
	Yep, yep.
	And again, it wasn't a major issue.
	It was only, let me see, it was like 13 or 14 percent.
	13 percent, yeah, the people didn't care about it that much.
	Yeah, that's right.
	So anyway, that's what, and then we also said when we made the forecast that Trump would win if there was an economic crisis, like a stock market crash.
	Well, it wasn't Wall Street.
	It was Main Street that went down.
	And that's why he won.
	And now, again, now you look what's going on.
	You know, there's some things I like what he's doing, and other things I can't stand what he's doing, is some of the people he's brought in.
	You know, before you went on the air, you asked me about gold.
	Gold took a big hit.
	Gold was at what?
	2,800 bucks an ounce before he came in.
	And now, what is it, around 2,000?
	Mid-2500s, I think, or something like that.
	So here's the deal.
	You ready?
	And crypto, Bitcoin has exploded with these expectations.
	So yeah, what's your take on all that?
	Well, here we go.
	Let me give you the numbers here.
	When Trump won in 2016, Right?
	Mm-hmm.
	Where is it here?
	Gold fell 12% in the first year.
	Silver fell 13% in 2016 when he got elected.
	The Bitcoin thing, again, all of a sudden he became pro-Bitcoin.
	He got, what, $150, $200 million for the Bitcoin people?
	Yeah, yeah.
	That'll make him pro-anything.
	Yeah.
	He's for sale.
	Like he's pro-Israel.
	What did he got?
	How many hundred millions from the Adelsons?
	That's right.
	And so Bitcoin, if there was no Bitcoin, gold prices would be another $1,000 higher.
	Mm-hmm.
	Because you've got so much money going into this.
	And I don't see it.
	You know, it's not what we like, what we want, what we wish for.
	We've been bullish on.
	It's in the Trends Journal.
	We've been bullish on Bitcoin for how many years?
	Mm-hmm.
	We call the bottom.
	We call it when we're going down.
	If it goes below this, it's going to go down.
	If it doesn't go, it's going to go here.
	I mean, we've been right on target with this.
	This is my...
	This is big.
	This is real.
	And I don't see it going away.
	I think it's going to keep going up as long as Trump keeps propping it up.
	You know, the other thing, too, look at the people he's brought in like Musk.
	It shows you one thing.
	Everybody get this in your head.
	If you're not a multi-multi-billionaire You got nothing to say.
	That's right.
	So shut your mouth and you listen to the billionaires.
	You are just a little plantation worker of Slavelandia.
	You have no voice.
	You're a nobody.
	I'm a Musk.
	I'm a Bezos.
	I'm a Gates.
	I'm a Soros.
	You're just crap.
	America, who brings freedom and democracy to all over the world as they slaughter people and support genocide.
	This is no democracy!
	That's right.
	Yeah, he's even bragging, you know, joking about the fact that he brought that sink in when he bought Twitter.
	You know, I'm going to throw everything out, including the kitchen sink type of thing.
	And so he photoshopped that picture of himself with a kitchen sink there in the Oval Office.
	Kind of bragging about how he had bought it, too.
	I mean, a pretty clear reference.
	Hey, you know, I bought Twitter, and now I've bought the White House.
	You got it.
	And that's exactly what he got.
	Now, when I look at this, the other aspect of this that I think is kind of interesting, and I talked about this at the beginning of the week, a lot of the people around him, like Lutnik and other people, they've always hung around ESG and, of course, Musk became the richest man in the world by exploiting all the green garbage and everything.
	Musk has been a big proponent of carbon taxes, so has Lutnik and a lot of these other people.
	They've got a scheme.
	They're running through some municipal organizations in Latin America tied to surveillance, tied to the blockchain.
	And so the question is, are they going to try to run something through that's going to be kind of a private version of CBDC?
	You know, they want to get back to the carbon taxes.
	They want to do carbon capture.
	That was the one big thing of Lee Zeldin.
	The guy that he put at EPA was all about carbon capture.
	When he was a Republican in Congress, he was pushing this carbon capture scam.
	And we've seen Trump doing that with Burgum and with Kristi Noem in North and South Dakota, the CEO of this big carbon dioxide pipeline.
	So this kind of stuff, kind of in the background, running these kind of green scams and maybe folding all this stuff into a blockchain version of tracking what you're doing and putting that out there.
	I look at this and I kind of think it's a combination of that work.
	What does Musk want to get out of this, of course?
	He wants more money.
	He wants, I think, he might wind up being the first trillionaire.
	But it looks to me, and he's talked about this, I've played this several times this week, that he's talked about how he wants X to be this big processor of global payments.
	He said maybe half of the world's global payments happening on X. How do you see his interest in all this stuff, other than just the standard green stuff?
	I think he's looking for something bigger this time around.
	Yeah, I can.
	Like you said, what you said is, I agree with everything you're saying.
	These guys are in control.
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	The money, I'm telling you, money, how much did it cost to run these two elections?
	How many billions?
	Oh yeah, yeah.
	How many billions?
	Oh, she took in a billion right away.
	There was even that joke on Saturday Night Live that said, you took in a billion dollars, how come you're not winning?
	And she says, yes, I scream that into my pillow every morning.
	Why am I not winning with a billion dollars?
	She was doing stuff.
	She's paying celebrities big bucks, you know, to go on it.
	And she put her picture and campaign stuff on that big Vegas ball that they've got, the Sphere.
	That was costing her a half million dollars a day.
	I mean, it was just this vanity project for her.
	It was crazy.
	And again, what you talked about, I hate that word celebrities, by the way.
	Yeah.
	What a stupid word, a celebrity.
	I mean...
	Oh, Sylvester Stallone's set.
	A clown set?
	Yeah, we celebrate them.
	They're people we celebrate.
	Yeah, celebrities.
	Anyway, Oprah, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, nothing.
	That's right.
	She got nothing from it.
	That's right.
	Yeah, I was on Oprah twice back in the day.
	And she was great, by the way.
	Her show was better.
	I used to be on everybody.
	You remember when I used to see it?
	Oh, yeah.
	I used to be on CNN like four times a month.
	Today's show, Good Morning America, all of them.
	They used to send trucks up with their satellites.
	Anyway.
	Mm-hmm.
	No one put on a better show than she did.
	Her staff, her setup, it was way beyond the mainstream media.
	I'm going back to the 90s and early 2000s.
	But anyway, the celebrities didn't get her anywhere.
	And that's very important to look at.
	And the other thing is, look at the people that he's picking.
	By the way, as you well know, I supported RFK Jr.
	Yeah.
	When I had one of my peace rallies up here, his campaign manager, Dennis Kucinich, was one of my speakers.
	And I had given Kennedy the most amount of money an individual could give to a campaign.
	And he was going high in the beginning.
	It was like up 15%, which is unbelievable for a third-party candidate back in January.
	Anyway, I got my money back when he became so pro-Israel.
	And here's some of the things that he said.
	This is from Ha Haaretz, the Israeli newspaper.
	Over the past year and a half, Kennedy has attempted to defend himself against alleged anti-Semitism by cozying up to right-wing pro-Israel allies like Rabbi Shmuley Botech and Zionist organizations Kennedy has attempted to defend himself against alleged anti-Semitism by cozying up to right-wing pro-Israel He has also insisted that he has been more pro-Israel than Jewish Democrats.
	He said that Palestinians, quote, are the most pampered people in the world.
	Hmm.
	And he keeps going on.
	One article after another.
	I think he meant pounded instead of pampered.
	Yeah, he spelled it wrong.
	So, that's when I got my money back.
	And I don't support him.
	But I do support his stance against...
	The drug dealers that people call Big Pharma.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Something good may come out of that.
	Yeah.
	So that could be interesting.
	Yeah, I talked about that today.
	You know, he's a real mixed bag.
	Everybody is, but especially the political parties.
	You start jumping behind a political party.
	I just can't do that anymore.
	It's just...
	But he is an interesting contradiction.
	He's all about children's health, but he supports abortion without any restrictions.
	But he might, even if he was just to get rid of the 1986 vaccine immunity, that would be a huge thing.
	If he were to stop TV advertising like the tobacco industry...
	Because the president guard was saying, I don't think that's constitutional.
	And yet, whether it's constitutional or not, they've already set this thing up as a precedent.
	So he could use that precedent to stop the vaccine ads.
	And of course, that's their superpower.
	By buying all of these ads, they own the media.
	And that's how they can lie to everybody and make sure that they're never investigated, that there's never any journalism that's being done against them.
	So if they were to lose that, that would be a big blow to them.
	Just those two things.
	And he might do that.
	On the ads, you know, who made that...
	They were prohibited.
	It was Clinton, wasn't it?
	Yep, Clinton.
	Slimeball Clinton.
	1997.
	Because I was hired by Warner Lambert, which was a big company back then.
	I think Pfizer bought them out or some one of those.
	And they hired me because I used to do a lot of trends analysis of corporations.
	And I remember when it happened.
	And then going back to the numbers, I think, I'm not positive, but I think the number is CNN, 47% of its income comes from drug dealer advertising.
	Yes, yes.
	Oh, they're owned.
	Fox, I'm sure, is the same thing.
	MSNBC, I'm sure, is the same thing.
	Yep.
	And all the broadcast media, ABC, CBS, NBC, I'm sure it's all...
	That would be a gigantic thing if you could stop their ownership of the media.
	That would be a big thing, yeah.
	Yeah, I mean, to me, you know, again, the...
	The motto of the Trends Journal is think for yourself.
	We put the facts down.
	We say where the trends are heading.
	We give you our analysis and our forecast.
	But, you know, you do what you want to do.
	This is what we're finding.
	And as I see it, inject all this stuff into a newborn baby, to me, is insanity.
	It is.
	It is.
	It's insanity.
	Yeah.
	A little infant.
	You have all these things going into the body.
	Again, when we were young guys, there was no body.
	Again, I'm born in 1946, the height of the baby boom.
	I got like 50 kids in my class.
	Nobody had autism.
	Well, look at how it has exploded.
	You know, there's 86 that Fauci gets that in.
	By 89, they do Rain Man.
	We were talking about that the other day.
	89, they do Rain Man, and autism was so rare at that point in time that they had to explain to people what autism was in the movie.
	But now, it's like, you know, three kids out of 100.
	You know, one out of every 33 kids has got autism.
	And I just, I cover, I still can't get past this one case that I covered about a month ago.
	And it was a custody battle.
	The parents had not, in a divorce, the parents had not vaccinated the kids.
	The judge gets it and says, that's child abuse, you don't vaccinate the kids.
	I'll give the custody to whichever parent does this.
	And The mom says, I'll do it.
	It took the kids out, three of them.
	And the two youngest, they gave them 18 vaccines all at once.
	And they both went into intensive care immediately.
	And the one that was the youngest came out with autism that is so severe, he can't engage.
	He's just catatonic.
	And his dad's got to change his diaper and everything.
	It's just unbelievable.
	And there's absolutely no question that that's what caused it.
	And yet...
	The media ignores it because they're owned by the pharmaceutical company.
	Got it.
	It's just amazing.
	Again, I don't call them pharmaceutical companies.
	They're drug dealers.
	They are.
	They use the word big pharma.
	They're not pharmaceutical.
	They're drug dealers.
	And again, look at the billions of dollars they give to the doctors.
	Mm-hmm.
	Mm-hmm.
	Well, you know, the other part of it, too, is we talk about those.
	Those could be good things.
	I played a clip from RFK Jr. this week earlier.
	First of all, I was really surprised.
	I really did not think that he was going to be given HHS.
	I know that he said that Trump had promised it to him, but he had his co-chair of the transition team.
	I played it again today.
	Lutnik say, no, he's not going to get that.
	No, he's not going to get that.
	So I thought they were just going to show him the door and use him like Trump used him back in 2017.
	But he talked about how Smithfield took over the pork industry and then how they sold themselves off to China and everything.
	So he's spot on in that.
	And there could be some very important stuff there in terms of the FDA on the food side that he could also do as well.
	So both of those things are very positive.
	That's the most positive thing I've seen out of the Trump administration right now is to put him in At HHS. I think he's going to expose some stuff.
	He may legitimize these organizations that need to be abolished, but at least we can get some of this stuff exposed and maybe some real change there.
	I don't know.
	Yeah, that's again if Congress approves it.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	You think there's going to be a problem with that?
	I don't know.
	I'm just saying.
	That's the other wild card there.
	I think it's going to be a real problem with some of these other picks like Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth at defense.
	I don't think they're going to make it through.
	What are the clowns he picked?
	Marco Rubio?
	I know, Marco Rubio, isn't that amazing?
	What qualifies them for that?
	As a matter of fact, Kristi Noem, I was saying earlier, I said she's a white version, a GOP version of Lala Harris.
	She's just an empty suit.
	She doesn't know anything.
	Why is she at DHS? I joked earlier this week, I said, well, she bragged about shooting her dog, so maybe that qualifies her for being the top cop since they are known for shooting dogs when they show up.
	I mean, Rubio, what a little jerk of nothing.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	And again, now, to me, so, remember, Trump said he's going to end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours when he gets elected.
	So let's see what happens there.
	And to me, the big issue...
	Or equally big issue is the Israel war.
	And Trump's people that he's picked are all pro-genocide.
	Yeah.
	Usually, hugely pro-genocide, yeah.
	This is from HaHadetz, the Israeli newspaper, which we subscribe to.
	So his trend forecast is, we go all over.
	So we subscribe to this.
	We pay to go there.
	We don't have to pay, but we go to Times of Israel, Jerusalem Post.
	But we also go to Tehran Times, IRNS, IRNA, ISNA, Press TV. Why don't you hear what the Iranians have to say?
	Arab News, Al Jazeera.
	Why don't you hear what the Arabs have to say?
	This is from...
	Ha ha, that's yesterday.
	Ready for this headline?
	Yeah.
	Trump's pro-Israel appointees are the worst of our enemies.
	Really?
	And why do they say that?
	Because they tell the people that he's picking and how terrible they are.
	And you look at the people that he's picked and the things that they say.
	And one of them, let me find this article here, if I have it.
	I don't know what he did with it.
	What's his name?
	Huckleberry there.
	Oh, yeah.
	Mike Huckabee.
	Yeah.
	Mike Huckleberry, yeah.
	Yeah.
	What did he say about...
	It's Judea and Samaria.
	There's no such thing as the West Bank or settlements and that kind of stuff.
	Yeah, that's right.
	Yeah.
	And that guy, the other guy he picked, I forgot his name.
	Hegseth?
	Who?
	Hegseth?
	The Pete Hegseth from Fox News.
	No, no, it's with an L, I think.
	With something.
	Anyway, going back to Huckleberry, that there was never such thing as a Palestine.
	He said that there's no such thing as settlements.
	These are developed properties.
	And they all say that God gave them this land, right?
	Okay.
	How about, where's God now?
	Could God come out and say this?
	How about God coming out and saying, I gave you this land?
	Well, that's what the ultra-Orthodox say.
	They say, well, yeah, God gave us the land, but God's going to give us the land.
	He's going to come out.
	He's going to do what you said.
	He's going to come out and give it to us.
	That's what the ultra-Orthodox do.
	So bring out your God.
	If there's the God that you believe in, What are you hiding?
	Come on out, God.
	Tell them.
	If God comes out and says, this land belongs to the Jewish people, okay, fine.
	What God are you talking about?
	Something you made up?
	If there's the God that you're saying, come on out.
	That's why I look at it.
	Well, you know, I know a lot of Christian Zionists who will look at this, and to them it's all tied up in their end-of-the-world interpretations of Revelation and everything.
	And so they're very much into this.
	They're not so much into, you know, fighting the corruption that we all face and the struggles that we all face.
	It's very easy to get focused on Trump, to get focused on Israel, so that you don't really do the hard personal stuff, right?
	And we've seen that over and over again when Jesus would confront somebody and say, well, you know, you're living with a man that you're not even married to right now, and you had a bunch of husbands.
	Well, what do you think about, should we have, should we worship God in Jerusalem or in Samaria?
	You immediately change it over to theology because that's where you're comfortable.
	And when you look at the Jewish people like Ben Shapiro, he goes on with Joe Rogan, and Rogan says, do you believe that God parted the Red Sea?
	No, I don't believe any of that stuff.
	But he believes that God gave him the land.
	And so people will focus on what they pick and choose what they want.
	And in terms of their theology, or they get focused on, you know, the land, and that's what I see happening even with the Christians who are doing this.
	They get focused on a political – they get focused on the land, they get focused on their interpretation, and then they project it onto this political organization run by Netanyahu that we call Israel.
	That's not the Israel that I see.
	And it's not – for people who say, well, I don't believe the Bible except the part where it says I get the land, I'm not impressed with that kind of claim.
	And so that's – but I see that in Hegseth as well as Huckabee, you know, Israel first and always.
	You know, Hegseth said, well, Israel – what can Israel learn from America?
	No, no, no.
	The answer is – the question is, what can America learn from Israel?
	You know, always putting this political national entity above us and ignoring all the spiritual truths that are there, I think.
	Again, he picked...
	What's her name?
	Tulsi Gabbard.
	You know, when I did a...
	This was 2021.
	2022, I forget.
	They had this Rage Against the War Machine rally in D.C., and I was one of the speakers.
	I think Kucinich was there, Jimmy Dore, Tulsi Gabbard, a whole bunch of us.
	She was so unfriendly, I'm telling you.
	Hello, hello.
	Really?
	Yeah, we're all hanging out backstage, you know, everybody friendly with each other.
	Anyway, she's got an attitude.
	This is from Anti-War.
	Trump picks Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence.
	Gabbard has repeatedly claimed that, you ready?
	Islamism is the greatest threat facing the United States.
	She said Hamas' October 7th attack in southern Israel was, quote, a stark reminder of the ongoing short- and long-term threats of Islamist terrorism that continues to spread around the world today Their goal is to establish a global Islamist caliphate where all must live under their Sharia law.
	And we must, quote, stand with Israel.
	And she called actions in Gaza, she called the genocide, The people that call it genocide, the people in Congress, they're apologists and supporters of Islamist Hamas terrorists.
	Well, that's our ticket into the cabinet, right?
	Yep.
	Got our ticket punched.
	One after another.
	Well, you know, she's a real chameleon opportunist as well.
	I mean, she's smarter than Lala, but she can flip-flop back and forth.
	She used to be pro-life, and then she became pro-abortion so she could get elected as a Democrat.
	She used to be pro-peace, then she became pro-war so she could join the Republicans.
	She's all over the place.
	Whatever gets her there.
	She was a World Economic Forum young leader, and yet, you know, I didn't know they did that.
	And yet, she accepted that and liked it.
	She's part of the Council on Foreign Relations.
	And I think the interesting thing is that she is...
	When you look at it, she's in the Army, I think it's Reserve, maybe National Guard, but I'm not sure if it's Reserve or National Guard.
	Nevertheless, she is a PSYOP operator.
	Lieutenant Colonel who does PSYOPs.
	Yep.
	So somebody you can trust.
	For sure, right?
	These are a couple of headlines in the last two days.
	Israel renews brutal cycle of war in North Gaza.
	You look at these pictures.
	This little kid in the bottom over here, this is the New York Times.
	The genocide that's being committed in Gaza in front of everybody's eyes just keeps going on and on and on, and there is nothing, nothing talked about it saying we have to stop it.
	Yeah.
	Anti-war.
	Israeli military planning to stay in Gaza through 2025.
	Hmm.
	Push revive for West Bank annexation.
	Wall Street Journal.
	Since Trump's win, Israeli ministers see an opportunity to control the territory.
	Hmm.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it's a crop.
	There's more here.
	Israel forces, this is yesterday, killed 47 Palestinians in Gaza over the last 24 hours.
	Wow.
	It's a full crop.
	Imagine if the people in Gaza were Jewish and the Palestinians were doing this to the Jewish people in Gaza.
	Oh my God, how terrible!
	This is another Holocaust.
	No, no.
	No.
	Palestinian lives don't matter.
	They don't count.
	That's right.
	Look what they're doing to Lebanon.
	They have destroyed...
	They have destroyed...
	30% of southern Lebanon.
	Bomb to ruins.
	What did Lebanon do?
	They got Hezbollah there.
	They're terrorists.
	Oh, wait a minute.
	Terrorists?
	You mean the Lebanese people that threw Israel out of Lebanon when they attacked Lebanon in 1982 and they couldn't get them out until like 2002?
	Oh, they're terrorists.
	They're terrorists.
	Oh, by the way, I forgot.
	Israel killed about over a dozen people in Damascus two days ago.
	Yeah, into Syria.
	Lebanon, Syria, everywhere.
	They have the right to defend themselves.
	Nobody else does.
	That's right.
	Well, you know, I saw Pete Hegseth and all these people.
	I had a couple of clips of his.
	I played them, though, a day apart.
	And one of them...
	He's talking about Putin, and he says, you know, he's firing missiles at these civilians.
	It's unending, and they're using civilians as shields and so forth.
	But it's reprehensible that he's firing it in.
	And he's killing everybody, all these civilians, men as well, but especially women and children.
	And then...
	He condemns that when it's Putin, but he defends it when it's Israel doing it into Gaza.
	And that's what we see all the time.
	And they talk about the fact, okay, well, it was Hamas that attacked us on October the 7th.
	And it's like, okay, but...
	Part of a just war is not just that you don't do preemptive strikes, but it's also that you don't continue the war, that you try to avoid civilian casualties, that your goal is to try to have peace.
	Clearly, that's not any interest at all.
	And now they have compounded that by preemptively attacking into Syria as well as into Lebanon.
	It's an unjustified war.
	There's no way that it could be justified.
	No way.
	None.
	Oh, going back to, like you said, the support, you know, end the Ukraine war, but keep the genocide going?
	Going back to Tulsi Gabbard?
	Mm-hmm.
	Gabbard has been an opponent of the U.S. involvement in the Ukraine war.
	Quote, this war and suffering could have easily been avoided if the Biden administration and NATO had simply acknowledged Russia's legitimate security concerns.
	Okay.
	Oh, wait a minute.
	This war and suffering?
	Oh, that war and suffering, that's terrible.
	But the war and suffering of the Palestinian people?
	Oh, no, no.
	She supports that.
	The hypocrisy.
	The hypocrisy.
	And nobody calls them out.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Well, you know, when I look at the statements that are being made about war by Waltz, by Ratcliffe, by Hegseth, and all these other...
	They all sound like Lindsey Graham.
	It's amazing.
	I mean, you look at the Trump cabinet, and it's a bunch of Lindsey Graham clones.
	This guy Waltz had said about Afghanistan in 2017, he said, your grandkids are going to be fighting there, and that's good.
	We've got to send your grandkids to this war.
	It's going to be there for generations.
	It didn't turn out that way, though, did it?
	They lost that war yet again.
	Oh, and let's go back to the BS Biden and BS little boy Blinken, another arrogant little clown boy.
	My daddy was ambassador to Hungary.
	My uncle was ambassador to Belgium.
	I'm Blinken.
	I went to Dalton.
	I went to Harvard.
	Yeah, that arrogant little clown lying all the time about the ceasefire efforts that Netanyahu kept...
	Killing and blaming it on Hamas?
	Oh, that one.
	Because Hamas had the nerve to say, we want a permanent ceasefire.
	So, remember here.
	The United States will not withhold military aid from Israel, the department said Tuesday, after top Biden administration officials warned a month ago that they would consider doing if the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza did not improve.
	Remember that?
	Lloyd Austin and Blinken saying that if you don't allow the aid to improve, we're cutting off your military.
	The aid didn't improve.
	It's terrible.
	And they're keeping it going.
	They're keeping stealing our money to keep giving Israel more weapons of death to slaughter innocent people.
	Oh, you look at how they went to such absurd extremes to create that long pier.
	Oh, none of that!
	Yeah, I mean, you had one guy get killed, but it was such an absurd thing to do this in order to kowtow to their demands.
	It's like, just open up the road and let people come in.
	No, no, no, we're going to build this multi-million dollar Rube Goldberg pier thing that's not going to work.
	It was absurd, but it just showed just how weak And subservient the U.S. government is to Israel's demands.
	It truly is amazing.
	We wrote about, as in the Trans Journal, as soon as they told the Pierce story, again, we put down all the facts, what a fraud it was.
	Well, it cost like almost half a billion dollars.
	And who did it enrich?
	The military-industrial complex.
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	It's all about that, isn't it?
	Well, you know, what do you think is going to happen?
	I got a question here from one person said, David, I had a friend at work tell me Trump will fulfill his campaign promises this time.
	He bet me 20 bucks that Trump will release all unredacted Epstein, 9-11, and JFK files.
	Do you think I'll win?
	Yeah.
	That's funny.
	You know, the other thing on the economy.
	Again, we only look at facts.
	Let's go back to 2018, December.
	Trump's president, the S&P 500 and the Dow are down 10% in one month.
	Correction territory.
	January comes, he forced Powell to lower interest rates.
	To jack up the markets.
	Artificially.
	And what happened in September 2019?
	Oh, the repo crisis?
	Yeah, that's right.
	All forgotten about.
	That's right.
	So here's what we see.
	On the tax cuts, Trump's tax cuts in 2017...
	According to the Tax Policy Center, the 1% got 64% of the tax benefits.
	Trump sold the BS that by giving the big corporations these tax cuts, they're going to use the money for capital improvements, meaning building jobs and building factories.
	2018 comes.
	It was the biggest year of stock buybacks on record.
	No capital improvements.
	So going back to now, Gold.
	I, again, I can't say he's going to do it, but by his track record, because again, let's go back to the COVID war.
	When he launched it on March 13th, Black Friday, 2020, he pushed the Fed to lower interest rates to zero and pumped in trillions of dollars of fake money backed by nothing and printed on nothing.
	He's going to do everything he can to keep propping up this economy so the rich keep getting richer because he's a member of that class.
	That means lowering interest rates.
	The lower interest rates go, the deeper the dollar falls.
	The deeper the dollar falls, the higher gold prices go.
	So that's what we have to see what's going to happen with interest rates.
	And he's already started pushing on Powell.
	There's all this talking about, well, maybe I'll push him out.
	Maybe if I can't get him out of the Federal Reserve, maybe I'll make sure that he's not the chair anymore.
	So he's already putting on that pressure campaign about that.
	And as you point out, we know what he did when he was there before.
	He pushed on him to do quantitative easing and interest rate cuts.
	So the one thing that he would be great to do is to end the Fed.
	Mm-hmm.
	I don't think you'll do that.
	I'm just saying.
	That would be a great thing.
	I don't think you'd do it either, but I'm just saying what a great thing to do.
	He wants a seat at the table.
	He doesn't want to end it.
	He wants to be there so he can move some of the levers.
	That's what I mean.
	By ending it, he'll be in charge of it.
	Yeah.
	Well, you know, there was either Mises or Reason that had a thing saying, you know, what can the president do?
	All this stuff about Fed independence, they said, that's not a real thing.
	You go back and you look at FDR and presidents around that time, they were telling the Fed what to do.
	They even had the Treasury Secretary on the board and even had FDR say, turn in your gold, told the Federal Reserve.
	And the Federal Reserve gave him his gold.
	So there's not any independence there.
	It never was.
	It's just something they've created to say, leave us alone.
	You can't look at what we're doing.
	Yeah.
	The banksters are helping us over here.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's right.
	The bankster bandits are running the country.
	Yeah.
	Again, we missed it.
	You know, the working class in this country, it's the young people that voted for Trump.
	They can't get a job.
	I have a cousin.
	Her grandson graduated one of the top schools in New York City.
	He couldn't get a job.
	He finally found one.
	He's working at Target for $16 an hour.
	Again, when we were young men, there were grocery stores, hardware stores, stationary stores, drug stores, shoe stores.
	Now they're all chains.
	All the mom-and-shop businesses are gone.
	My four uncles had fish stores.
	One in Flushing, one in Regal Park, one in Jackson Heights, one up in the Bronx.
	My uncles had butcher shops.
	It was a middle class.
	They all had nice little homes.
	That's right.
	All gone.
	All gone.
	Now you're a butcher, you're working at Hannaford's or somebody.
	Well, Trump said they were all non-essential when he locked them down and killed them.
	There's a war on Main Street under Trump.
	That's why I look at this and it's like, how in the world can people support this guy?
	Again, look what they had.
	Yeah.
	That's why they supported it.
	They believed his BS. Yeah.
	I know.
	Yeah.
	And he's a...
	You know, we own the trademark.
	We took it out when he ran in 2016.
	And we were the first magazine to call him a winner back then, by the way, in May.
	We took out the trademark Presidential Reality Show.
	That's all it is.
	He puts on a show.
	Yeah.
	He's a pro at this.
	That's right.
	Well, it's going to be interesting to see what happens.
	Any other areas that you see interesting things happen?
	Again, when we look at, there's so much optimism from the Bitcoin people, as you point out.
	I think we've seen gold go down.
	We've seen a lot of money move over into crypto.
	I'm concerned, ultimately, about how that might be used by these big tech guys who've essentially We've taken over control with Trump.
	But at the same time, I was talking to Tony Ardman yesterday, Wise Wolf Gold, and he was, you know, we're talking about the fact none of the fundamentals have changed.
	You know, Russia's still accumulating gold and other things like that, and none of the fundamentals in terms of our massive debt and the spending and all the other things that have been driving all this stuff, none of that has changed.
	Here's what changed.
	Yeah.
	With Trump saying he's going to decrease the war effort in Ukraine, there's less fear of World War III escalating.
	And that was one of the things driving up gold prices.
	Now, what do you think...
	Okay, because I think it's a given that we're going to get involved in a war with Iran.
	So, if we have peace in Ukraine and war with Iran, how does that affect the markets and gold prices?
	Gold prices will skyrocket.
	But then again, you just heard that Musk just met with the...
	With the Iranian ambassador, one of the top guys, to talk to him.
	And I think Musk is going to play a big role in this whole government.
	And by the way, I do agree with the thing about cutting back on the bureaucrats, getting rid of these.
	Bureaucrats, to me, are the lowest pieces of crap on earth.
	These people can't get a job in the real world that suck into the political system and become the most arrogant.
	Mm-hmm.
	I just find it a bit hard to believe that the guy who has become the richest man in the world by exploiting government waste is going to really do anything.
	I mean, maybe he'll get rid of wasteful welfare programs for other people while he gets the government subsidies for his programs.
	Maybe that'll work that way.
	Absolutely.
	Absolutely.
	But again, I think that's a positive to get rid of that stuff.
	But again, going back...
	There's also the wild cards that nobody can predict.
	Will Ukraine attack a nuclear power plant in Russia?
	Will there be a false flag event that gets involved in the war?
	Again, if we go to, if Israel, Israel's nothing more than a bully, beating up little kids, tiny little guys, what is the size of Manhattan?
	They don't have planes or tanks to fight back where they got rifles.
	Oh, they're bombing the hell out of Lebanon, 5.7 million people.
	A country the size of Connecticut?
	Yeah.
	Oh, now you've got 7 million Israelis, right?
	There's 9 million people, but 20% of them Arab.
	Against 91 million Iranians?
	Yeah.
	Who are very advanced scientifically, technologically, militarily?
	Yeah.
	Israel's nothing more than a bully, acting tough as they're beating up little kids.
	No way in the world are they going to be able to beat...
	Iran.
	No way, no way.
	Oh, the United States is going to get involved?
	The United States, it hasn't won a war since World War II? And you wouldn't have won that without the Russians?
	You couldn't beat the Vietnamese, couldn't beat the Iraqis, you couldn't beat the Afghans?
	You're going to beat Iran?
	Yeah.
	Let me ask you about this.
	I think that we're in the period of time, in this transition period of time.
	It looked like right after the election, you had this big back and forth with a drone strike that was, you know, mutual drone strikes between Ukraine and Russia.
	I think they were trying to...
	A big effort to move the line of contact because they figured that when there's a peace going to be imposed that it's going to freeze the line of contact.
	So do you think we're in a very potentially dangerous period of time here before Trump gets in and can impose any kind of a peace thing?
	What do you think?
	Absolutely.
	Absolutely.
	Because they know they're not going to get the dough from the United States under Trump.
	He ain't going to give it to them.
	And they're going to do something to escalate this war.
	There's going to be a false flag.
	And it'll get the people...
	Just like, you know...
	Again, I've...
	A hundred times I've mentioned it.
	You Google it up.
	Franklin Roosevelt seizes all Japanese assets.
	July 26th, 1941.
	And then the United States...
	History today.
	Mainstream.
	United States, UK, and Dutch.
	What did they do?
	They cut off three quarters of Japanese trade and 88% of their imported oil.
	They only import 100%.
	Can't understand why they bombed Pearl Harbor six months later.
	Oh, yeah.
	Right?
	They're going to do something like that that's going to escalate this thing into a false flag event.
	Well, let me ask you, you know, when we look at gold, and of course it's bullish for gold, I guess, if there's war.
	But, you know, if there's peace, maybe this drags on and we see gold kind of flatline or whatever.
	You know, you'd predicted, and of course, you know, things have changed with the surprise of Trump being there.
	You predicted that this year would be the year for gold.
	But what do you think happens in the long term?
	I mean, is this a buying opportunity because it's on sale?
	Or, you know, what is the situation?
	Because so many of the fundamentals there in terms of, you know, inflation is not under control.
	Trump is going to start pulling all those levers again like he did the first time.
	And then, of course, we've...
	Got this massive debt, not just in our country, but all over the world.
	So, you know, where do you think things are headed in the longer term, let's say mid to long term, with Bitcoin and gold and things like that?
	Go to your Trends Journal two weeks ago.
	We said gold has had a spike up when we made the forecast it was $2,041.
	When it hit 2800, we said, nothing goes straight up.
	There has to be a correction here.
	That's right.
	Now we're in that correction territory.
	It happened after Trump got elected.
	So, we got to watch to see what's going to happen.
	And that's so, again, I gave you the numbers of how much gold went down when Trump took office the last time in 2016.
	You got to watch what's going on.
	And so we're not ready to make a forecast yet.
	Yeah, it's going to be interesting.
	What do you think about the tariffs?
	We're almost out of time, but what do you think about the tariffs?
	We only get like 30 seconds.
	I'm pro-tariff.
	I want America to become a self-sustaining economy.
	You think that's going to be inflationary?
	It'll be inflationary, but it'll be inflationary temporarily because if you had more manufacturing, your pay goes up rather than working as a bartender or a waiter or working at Walmarts.
	That's right.
	So temporarily bring it up, but long term, I'm for it.
	Well, it's always great talking to you, Gerald.
	Salenti Trends Journal.
	Folks, you can save 10% off with the code NIGHT, and it is a bargain.
	Thank you so much, Gerald.
	Cheryl, have a good weekend.
	Thank you.
	The Common Man.
	They created Common Core and dumbed down our children.
	They created common past to track and control us.
	Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
	And the communist future.
	They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
	But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
	That is what we have in common.
	That is what they want to take away.
	Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
	They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
	It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
	Please share the information and links you'll find at TheDavidKnightShow.com Thank you for listening.
